On energy exchange rate and entropy production operators in quantum
fluctuation-dissipation relations    [PDF]

Yu. E. Kuzovlev

For quantum systems with externally time-varied Hamiltonians a definition of operators of system's energy change rate (work per unit time) and entropy production observables is suggested and discussed in the context of rigorous statistical equalities (generalized fluctuation-dissipation relations) under the Jordan-symmetrized chronological operator ordering rule.
