Fully quantum fluctuation relations incorporate coherence and quantum correlations,
but typically require explicit modeling of components that more traditional approaches
(both classical and quantum) only treat implicitly. Such components include the
system that delivers the work, as well as the system that imposes the external
control. In this project, we strive to mimic the general machinery of fully quantum
fluctuation relations in a purely classical phase space setting, and within this
construction derive classical counterparts to various fully quantum fluctuation
relations. One goal is to understand the effects of introducing explicit batteries and
external controls in the classical scenario, and how this relates to standard classical
approaches. A further aim is to enable a comparison between fully quantum
fluctuation relations and classical fluctuation relations on a more equal footing.
