Quantum–Classical Correspondence Principle for Heat Distribution in Quantum Brownian Motion

Jin-Fu Chen, Tian Qiu, H. T. Quan

Quantum Brownian motion, described by the Caldeira-Leggett model, brings insights to the understanding of phenomena and essence of quantum thermodynamics, especially the quantum work and heat associated with their classical counterparts. By employing the phase-space formulation approach, we study the heat distribution of a relaxation process in the quantum Brownian motion model. The analytical result of the characteristic function of heat is obtained at any relaxation time with an arbitrary friction coefficient. By taking the classical limit, such a result approaches the heat distribution of the classical Brownian motion described by the Langevin equation, indicating the quantum-classical correspondence principle for heat distribution. We also demonstrate that the fluctuating heat at any relaxation time satisfies the exchange fluctuation theorem of heat and its long-time limit reflects the complete thermalization of the system. Our research study justifies the definition of the quantum fluctuating heat via two-point measurements.

Heat distribution in quantum Brownian motion

Ze-Zhou Zhang, Qing-Shou Tan, Wei Wu

We investigate the heat statistics in a relaxation process of quantum Brownian motion described by the Caldeira-Leggett model. By employing the normal mode transformation and the phase-space formulation approach, we can analyze the quantum heat distribution within an exactly dynamical framework beyond the traditional paradigm of Born-Markovian and weak-coupling approximations. It is revealed that the exchange fluctuation theorem for quantum heat generally breaks down in the strongly non-Markovian regime. Our results may improve the understanding about the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open quantum systems when the usual Markovian treatment is no longer appropriate.

Correlation in the Langevin theory of Brownian motion

X. L. Li, G. W. Ford, Robert F. O’Connell

In a paper with the same title as the above, Manoliu and Kittel calculated the high temperature ensemble average of the nonequal time product of the displacement and random force in the classical Brownian motion problem. Here, using a generalized quantum Langevin equation (GLE), we generalize these considerations to the quantum case and to the case of an arbitrary heat bath (such as, e.g., the blackbody radiation heat bath). Also, we consider an arbitrary temperature and we generalize beyond Brownian motion to the case of a harmonically bound particle in a heat bath. In addition, we point out that correlations of the type considered are widely used in many applications in a variety of different areas of physics and we review some recent applications of the GLE.
