Interrelationship of classical and quantum fluctuations is discussed. With energy dissipation being taken into account, fluctuations are shown to be irreversible even in the case of classical systems. An analogy to Kubo relation for classical fluctuations is derived. Fluctuations in both equilibrium and nonequilibrium (though stationary) states of the system are considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
