Aging Wiener-Khinchin Theorem

arXiv:1506.04926 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.080602

Abstract

The Wiener-Khinchin theorem shows how the power spectrum of a stationary random signal is related to its correlation function . We consider non-stationary processes with the widely observed aging correlation function and relate it to the sample spectrum. We formulate two aging Wiener-Khinchin theorems relating the power spectrum to the time and ensemble averaged correlation functions, discussing briefly the advantages of each. When the scaling function exhibits a non-analytical behavior in the vicinity of its small argument we obtain aging type of spectrum. We demonstrate our results with three examples: blinking quantum dots, single file diffusion and Brownian motion in a logarithmic potential, showing that our approach is valid for a wide range of physical mechanisms.
