Non-equilibrium thermodynamics To make contact with theories on atomistic scales, it is necessary to formulate the continuum theories in terms of quantities that have a well defined physical meaning and can either be obtained by simulations on atomistic scales or from independent experiments

Results and Discussion 1 Work distribution and energy spectrum in a sudden quench We begin by reviewing some concepts regarding non-equilibrium thermodynamics in a suddenly quenched Fermi gas. Consider a many-fermion system in a well-defined

• many-particle states of the perturbed system with one or two excited fermions. We validate our approach through the comparison with some photoemission data on fullerene films and previous analytical calculations on harmonically trapped Fermi gases.
