| contents | In this work, we numerically verify the Jarzynski equality and Crook fluctuation theorem for a Brownian particle diffusing in a heterogeneous thermal bath and hence having a non-Gaussian position distribution. We use the diffusing-diffusivity model to take the account of heterogeneity of the thermal bath where the mobility is considered as a fluctuating quantity. The Brownian particle is confined by a time-dependent harmonic potential. By changing the stiffness coefficient, we perform an isothermal process. We use the stochastic thermodynamics framework to calculate the work. We find that the Jarzynski equality and the Crook fluctuation theorem are convincingly satisfied for a non-Gaussion system. We also find that the work distribution is non-Gaussian for diffusing-diffusivity system even at a larger process time. |
