Fluctuation-Dissipation theorems and entropy production in relaxational systems
We show that for stochastic dynamical systems out of equilibrium the
violation of the fluctuation-dissipation equality is bounded by a function of
the entropy production. The result applies to a much wider situation than `near
equilibrium', comprising diffusion as well as glasses and other macroscopic
systems far from equilibrium. For aging systems this bounds the age-frequency
regimes in which the susceptibilities satisfy FDT in terms of the rate of decay
of the H-function, a question intimately related to the reading of a
thermometer placed in contact with the system.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex; formula and reference added plus various minor

On-Chip Generation, Routing, and Detection of Resonance Fluorescence
Quantum optical circuits can be used
to generate, manipulate, and exploit nonclassical states of light
to push semiconductor based photonic information technologies to the
quantum limit. Here, we report the on-chip generation of quantum light
from individual, resonantly excited self-assembled InGaAs quantum
dots, efficient routing over length scales ≥1 mm via GaAs ridge
waveguides, and in situ detection using evanescently coupled integrated
NbN superconducting single photon detectors fabricated on the same
chip. By temporally filtering the time-resolved luminescence signal
stemming from single quantum dots we use the quantum optical circuit
to perform time-resolved excitation spectroscopy on single dots and
demonstrate resonance fluorescence with a line-width of 10 ±
1 μeV; key elements needed for the use of single photons in
prototypical quantum photonic circuits
