Steady state fluctuations of the dissipated 
heat for a 
quantum stochastic model
(70K, latex)

ABSTRACT.  We 
introduce a quantum stochastic dynamics for heat conduction. A 
multi-level subsystem is coupled to reservoirs at different 
temperatures. Energy quanta are detected in the reservoirs 
allowing the study of steady state fluctuations of the entropy 
production. Our main result states a symmetry in its large 
deviation rate function.
