Allowing for strong system-bath interactions, we show that a steady-state heat exchange fluctuation theorem holds, though the dynamical processes nonlinearly involve the two reservoirs. We accomplish a closed expression for the cumulant generating function, and use it obtain the heat current and its cumulants in a nonlinear thermal junction, the two-bath spin-boson model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-06-02T01:27:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.70.+m", "05.60.Gg", "05.30.-d", "05.70.Ln" ], "keywords": [ "quantum fluctuation theorem", "strong coupling regime", "steady-state heat exchange fluctuation theorem", "heat exchange fluctuation theorem holds", "study quantum heat exchange" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.84.161414", "year": 2011, "month": "Oct", "volume": 84, "number": 16, "pages": 161414 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..84p1414N" } } }
