Dynamical ensemble in constructions of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: fluctuation and response theory in quantum systems KU Leuven
Stochastic thermodynamics is an emergent subfield of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. This formalism gives a natural way to deal with the response relation and fluctuation phenomena. One can easily get the higher order response from equilibrium state and the linear response from nonequilibrium steady state, which are beyond the linear response theory. Besides, fluctuation theorems describe the fluctuation behavior of the system. The main ...
