Abstract

Macroscopic thermodynamics, via the weak coupling approximation, assumes that the equilibrium properties of a system are not affected by interactions with its environment. However, this assumption may not hold for quantum systems, where the strength of interaction between the system and the environment may become non-negligible in a strong coupling regime. In such a regime, the equilibrium properties of the system depend on the interaction energy and the system state is no longer of the Gibbs form. Regarding such interactions, using tools from the quantum estimation theory, we derive the thermodynamic uncertainty relation between intensive and extensive variables valid at all coupling regimes through the generalized Gibbs ensemble. Where we demonstrate the lower bound on the uncertainty of intensive variables increases in presence of quantum fluctuations. Also, we calculate the general uncertainty relations for several ensembles to corroborate the literature results, thus showing the versatility of our method
