Work as an external quantum observable and an operational quantum work fluctuation theorem
We propose a definition of externally measurable quantum work in driven systems. Work is given as a quantum observable on a control device which is forcing the system and can be determined without knowledge of the system Hamiltonian H[over ̂]_{S}. We argue that quantum work fluctuation theorems whic...
