We extend the framework of forward and reverse processes commonly utilized in the derivation and analysis of the nonequilibrium work relations to thermodynamic processes with repeated discrete feedback. Within this framework, we derive a generalization of the detailed fluctuation theorem, which is modified by the addition of a term that quantifies the change in uncertainty about the microscopic state of the system upon making measurements of physical observables during feedback. As an application, we extend two nonequilibrium work relations: the nonequilibrium work fluctuation theorem and the relative-entropy work relation.
我们将通常用于推导和分析非平衡功关系的正向和反向过程框架扩展到具有重复离散反馈的热力学过程。在此框架内,我们推导了详细涨落定理的一个推广形式,该形式通过添加一项进行了修正,该项量化了在反馈过程中对物理可观测量进行测量时系统微观状态不确定性的变化。作为一个应用,我们扩展了两个非平衡功关系:非平衡功涨落定理和相对熵功关系。
