Path integral approach to heat in quantum thermodynamics

We study the heat statistics of a quantum Brownian motion described by the Caldeira-Leggett model. By using the path integral approach, we introduce a concept of the quantum heat functional along every pair of Feynman paths. This approach has the advantage of improving our understanding about heat i...
