Two-Time Measurement of Entropy Transfer in Markovian Quantum Dynamics
Résumé
We consider a protocol for the two-time measurement of
entropic observables in quantum open systems driven out of thermal equilibrium by
coupling to several heat baths. We concentrate on the Markovian approximation of
the time-evolution and relate the expected value of the so defined entropy
variations with the well-known expression of entropy production due to Lebowitz
and Spohn. We do so under the detailed balance condition and, as a byproduct, we
show that the probabilities of outcomes of two-time measurements are given by a
continuous time Markov process determined by the Lindblad generator of the
Markovian quantum dynamics.
