Probing quantum fluctuation theorems in engineered reservoirs
Fluctuation Theorems are central in stochastic thermodynamics, as they allow
for quantifying the irreversibility of single trajectories. Although they have
been experimentally checked in the classical regime, a practical demonstration
in the framework of quantum open systems is still to come. Here we propose a
realistic platform to probe fluctuation theorems in the quantum regime. It is
based on an effective two-level system coupled to an engineered reservoir, that
enables the detection of the photons emitted and absorbed by the system. When
the system is coherently driven, a measurable quantum component in the entropy
production is evidenced. We quantify the error due to photon detection
inefficiency, and show that the missing information can be efficiently
corrected, based solely on the detected events. Our findings provide new
insights into how the quantum character of a physical system impacts its
thermodynamic evolution.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
