Sub-Gaussian and subexponential fluctuation-response inequalities
arXiv:2003.12953 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.102.052105
Abstract
Sub-Gaussian and subexponential distributions are introduced and applied to study the fluctuation-response relation out of equilibrium. A bound on the difference in expected values of an arbitrary sub-Gaussian or subexponential physical quantity is established in terms of its sub-Gaussian or subexponential norm. Based on that, we find that the entropy difference between two states is bounded by the energy fluctuation in these states. Moreover, we obtain generalized versions of the thermodynamic uncertainty relation in different regimes. Operational issues concerning the application of our results in an experimental setting are also addressed, and nonasymptotic bounds on the errors incurred by using the sample mean instead of the expected value in our fluctuation-response inequalities are derived.
