A Field-Theoretic Framework for Work Statistics and Universal Scaling in Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions
Yanbo Qiao, Ruohan Xu, H. T. Quan
We develop a field-theoretic framework for work statistics in models driven through criticality. By analyzing the dynamic renormalization group flow of composite power opera…

Scaling Behaviors of Work Cumulants in Slow Isothermal Processes
Ruohan Xu, Yanbo Qiao, H. T. Quan
We study the cumulants of work in a slow isothermal process for gapped systems. Using the Martin-Siggia-Rose-De Dominicis-Janssen (MSRDJ) formalism and the properties of connected…
