Abstract

From the AdS/CFT dictionary, we derive a bulk dual of the work distribution defined by the two-point measurement on the boundary, yielding a bulk formulation of the Tasaki-Crooks fluctuation theorem. We argue that this does not merely supply a holographic prescription for the work distribution; it encodes the mean energy change and fluctuations of bulk real-time dynamics associated with the two-point measurement.
