  * Fluctuation theorem: A key result
    in statistical physics that quantifies the ratio of the probabilities of observing
    entropy-producing and entropy-decreasing fluctuations in a system measured over a
    finite volume and time span, in terms of the rate of entropy production in the system,
    the measurement volume, and time.
  * Fluctuation-dissipation theorem:
    A result first proved by Callen & Welton in 1951; In its general form it applies
    to both classical and quantum systems, and establishes a connection between the response
    of an equilibrium system to a perturbation and the fluctuations associated with an
    observable; For example, when a large particle moves through a sea of small particles,
    on the microscale all particle collisions are elastic; Macroscopically only the large
    particle is properly resolved, and dissipative forces and fluctuating random forces
    are observed; The fluctuation-dissipation theorem describes how these forces are connected;
