Easy access to energy fluctuations in non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems
arXiv:2010.03752 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.030602
Abstract
We combine theoretical and experimental efforts to propose a method for studying energy fluctuations, in particular, to obtain the related bi-stochastic matrix of transition probabilities by means of simple measurements at the end of a protocol that drives a many-body quantum system out-of-equilibrium. This scheme is integrated with numerical optimizations in order to ensure a proper analysis of the experimental data, leading to physical probabilities. The method is experimentally evaluated employing a two interacting spin-1/2 system in a nuclear magnetic resonance setup. We show how to recover the transition probabilities using only local measures which enables an experimental verification of the detailed fluctuation theorem in a many-body system driven out-of-equilibrium.
