The second law and fluctuations of work: The case against quantum fluctuation theorems
A. E. Allahverdyan, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
We study how Thomson's formulation of the second law: no work is extracted from an equilibrium ensemble by a cyclic process, emerges in the quantum situation through the averaging…
The quantum measurement process: an exactly solvable model
A. E. Allahverdyan, R. Balian, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
An exactly solvable model for a quantum measurement is discussed, that integrates quantum measurements with classical measurements. The z-component of a spin-1/2 test spin is measu…
Force-induced unzipping of DNA with long-range correlated sequence
A. E. Allahverdyan, Zh. S. Gevorkian
We consider force-induced unzipping transition for a heterogeneous DNA model with a long-range correlated base-sequence. It is shown that as compared to the uncorrelated situation,…
Comment on ``Experimental violations of the second law of thermodynamics for small systems and short timescales''
Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen, Armen E. Allahverdyan
The experimental verification of the Fluctuation Theorem by Wang et al. is not a violation but even a confirmation of the second law, resulting from their observations in a proper…
Invalidity of the Landauer inequality for information erasure in the quantum regime
A. E. Allahverdyan, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
A known aspect of the Clausius inequality is that an equilibrium system subjected to a squeezing $\d S<0$ of its entropy must release at least an amount $|\dbarrm Q|=T|\d S|$ of he…
Kinetic equation model for self-gravitating systems
A. E. Allahverdyan, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
The kinetic theory of a self-gravitating system is considered in the framework of Bhatnager-Gross-Krook model. This approach offers a unique and tractable setup for studying the ce…
