Quantum fluctuation theorem in the strong damping limit — •Sebastian Deffner and Eric Lutz — University of Augsburg, Germany

We consider a driven quantum particle in the large friction limit. We derive a generalized Crooks type fluctuation theorem using the quantum Smoluchowski equation and identify a new type of entropy production of purely quantum origin.
