• Abstract: Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations (TURs) are relations that establish lower bounds for the relative fluctuations of thermodynamic quantities in terms of the statistics of the associated entropy production. In this work we derive a family of TURs that explores higher order moments of the entropy production and is valid in any situation a Fluctuation Theorem holds. The resulting bound holds in both classical and quantum regimes and can always be saturated. These TURs are shown in action for a two level system weakly coupled to a bath undergoing a non time-symmetric drive, where we can use the Tasaki-Crooks fluctuation theorem. Finally, we draw a connection between our TURs and the existence of correlations between the entropy production and the thermodynamic quantity under consideration.

  Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths. We show that within the same model, the environment can take three different thermodynamic roles. The exact role of the environment is determined by the strength and structure of the coupling.

• 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 uncertainty relations (TURs) represent one of the few broad-based and fundamental relations in our toolbox for tackling the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems. We show how TURs are rooted in the quantum uncertainty principles and the fluctuation-dissipation inequalities (FDI) under fully nonequilibrium conditions.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
