Non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics of a memory-bearing open-system process
Biagio G. Banigi, Eric Lutz, Mauro Paternostro
We show the emergence of memory effects in the dynamics of a driven two-level system interacting with a composite environment, and analyze their influence on work, heat and entropy…

Nonequilibrium fluctuation relations for non-Gaussian processes
Arthur M. Faria, Marcus V. S. Bonanca, Eric Lutz
Non-Gaussian noise is omnipresent in systems where the central-limit theorem is inapplicable. We here investigate the stochastic thermodynamics of small systems that are described…

Strong-damping limit of quantum Brownian motion in a disordered environment
Arthur M. Faria, Marcus V. S. Bonanca, Eric Lutz
We consider a microscopic model of an inhomogeneous environment where an arbitrary quantum system is locally coupled to a harmonic bath via a finite-range interaction. We show that…
