• Authors: Yoshihiko Hasegawa
• Abstract summary: We consider the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, which states that a higher precision can be achieved at the cost of higher entropy production. Considering the original and perturbed dynamics, we show that the precision of an arbitrary counting observable in continuous measurement of quantum Markov processes is bounded from below by Loschmidt echo.

• Abstract: Entropy production characterizes irreversibility. This viewpoint allows us to consider the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, which states that a higher precision can be achieved at the cost of higher entropy production, as a relation between precision and irreversibility. Considering the original and perturbed dynamics, we show that the precision of an arbitrary counting observable in continuous measurement of quantum Markov processes is bounded from below by Loschmidt echo between the two dynamics, representing the irreversibility of quantum dynamics. When considering particular perturbed dynamics, our relation leads to several thermodynamic uncertainty relations, indicating that our relation provides a unified perspective on classical and quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relations.

  In this work, we investigate the critical fingerprints appearing in key thermodynamical quantities for a mean-field critical system. The presence of a mean-field critical point in a finite-time cycle leads to constant irreversible work even in the limit of infinitely slow driving. We find that the probability of observing negative work values, corresponding to negative irreversible entropy, is inversely proportional to the time the system remains near to the critical point.

  We investigate the thermodynamic uncertainty relation within a quantum collisional model. For the Markovian dynamics, we examine the classical and quantum TUR bounds in the non-equilibrium steady-state regime. For the two non-Markovian approaches, we find that the violation of the finite-time TUR bound is highly dependent on the type of non-Markovianity.

• Quantum relative entropy uncertainty relation [0.0]
  For classic systems, the fluctuations of a current have a lower bound in terms of the entropy production. We generalize this idea for quantum systems, where we find a lower bound for the uncertainty of quantum observables given in terms of the quantum relative entropy. We apply the result to obtain a quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation in terms of the quantum entropy production, valid for arbitrary dynamics and non-thermal environments.

  thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations indicate trade-offs between the relative fluctuation of observables and thermodynamic quantities. We derive finite-time lower bounds on the relative fluctuation of both dynamical observables and their first passage times for arbitrary initial states. We find that the product of the relative fluctuation and entropy production or dynamical activity is enhanced by quantum coherence in a generic class of dissipative processes of systems with nondegenerate energy levels.
