Universal relations and bounds for fluctuations in quasistatic small heat engines by Kosuke Ito, Guo-Hua Xu, Chao Jiang, Édgar Roldán, Raúl A. Rica-Alarcón, Ignacio A. Martínez, Gentaro Watanabe

“…However, this measure is insufficient to characterize the properties of miniaturized heat engines carrying non-negligible fluctuations, and a study of higher-order statistics of their energy exchanges is required. Here, we generalize Carnot’s result for reversible cycles to arbitrary order moment of the work and heat fluctuations. …”
