* 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; > s.a.
