Quantum work statistics close to equilibrium
We study the statistics of work, dissipation, and entropy production of a quantum quasi-isothermal process, where the system remains close to thermal equilibrium along the transformation. We derive a general analytic expression for the work distribution and the cumulant generating function. All work...
