Nonequilibrium fluctuations in quantum heat engines: theory, example, and possible solid state experiments

We study stochastic energetic exchanges in quantum heat engines. Due to microreversibility, these obey a fluctuation relation, called the heat engine fluctuation relation, which implies the Carnot bound: no machine can have an efficiency greater than Carnot’s efficiency. The stochastic thermodynamic...
