TL;DR
This paper studies the thermodynamics of a quantum decoherence process induced by a sudden interaction, analyzing work distribution, fluctuation relations, and physical examples to understand energy exchanges during decoherence.
Contribution
It introduces a detailed analysis of work statistics and fluctuation relations specifically for decoherence processes in quantum systems, which is a novel approach.
Findings
Derived the work probability distribution function for decoherence
Established fluctuation relations applicable to decoherence processes
Provided physical examples illustrating the thermodynamics of decoherence
Abstract
We investigate the thermodynamics of a quench realized by turning on an interaction generating pure decoherence. We characterize the work probability distribution function, also with a fluctuation relation, a lower bound of the work and by considering some physical examples.
