Abstract: We show that apparently thermalized states still store relevant amounts of information about their past, information that can be tracked by experiments involving nonequilibrium processes. We provide a condition for the microcanonical quantum Crook\'s theorem, and we test it by means of numerical experiments. In the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, two different procedures leading to the same equilibrium states give rise to different statistics of work in nonequilibrium processes. In the Dicke model, two different trajectories for the same nonequilibrium protocol produce different statistics of work. Microcanonical averages provide the correct results for the expectation values of physical observables in all the cases; the microcanonical quantum Crook\'s theorem fails in some of them. We conclude that testing quantum fluctuation theorems is mandatory to verify if a system is properly thermalized.

We propose a quantum fluctuation theorem that is valid for externally measurable quantum work determined during the driving protocol. Our theorem comes in the form of an inequality and therefore only yields bounds to the true free energy difference.

We present an explicit analysis of the Bures and Sjoqvist metrics over the inverse of thermal states for specific spin qubit and the superconducting flux qubit Hamiltonian models. We conclude the two metrics differ in the presence of a nonclassical behavior specified by the noncommutativity of neighboring mixed quantum states.

Experimental observation of thermalization with noncommuting charges [53.122045119395594]
Noncommuting charges have emerged as a subfield at the intersection of quantum thermodynamics and quantum information. We simulate a Heisenberg evolution using laser-induced entangling interactions and collective spin rotations. We find that small subsystems equilibrate to near a recently predicted non-Abelian thermal state.
