Abstract
In this paper, we derive the Jarzynski equality (JE) for an isolated quantum system in three differ- ent cases: (i) the full evolution is unitary with no intermediate measurements, (ii) with intermediate measurements of arbitrary observables being performed, and (iii) with intermediate measurements whose outcomes are used to modify the external protocol (feedback). We assume that the mea- surements will involve errors that are purely classical in nature. Our treatment is based on path probability in state space for each realization. This is in contrast to the formal approach based on projection operator and density matrices. We find that the JE remains unaffected in the second case, but gets modified in the third case where the mutual information between the measured values with the actual eigenvalues must be incorporated into the relation.
