Using a quantum work meter to test non-equilibrium fluctuation theorems
Defining and measuring work and heat are non-trivial tasks in the quantum regime. Here, the authors design a scheme to directly sample from the work probability distribution, and use it to verify the validity of the quantum version of the Jarzynksi identity using cold atoms on an atomic chip.
