摘要: Mesoscopic systems provide us a unique experimental stage to address nonequilibrium quantum statistical physics. Recently we demonstrated that, by measuring the current and noise in mesoscopic conductor, Fluctuation Theorem (FT) can be tested. Here, our experiment as well theoretical background is discussed. The result qualitatively validates predictions derived from FT first evidence of regime.
