Abstract: The transient quantum fluctuation theorems of Crooks and Jarzynski restrict and relate the statistics of work performed in forward and backward forcing protocols. So far these theorems have been obtained under the assumption that the work is determined by projective measurements at the end and the beginning of each run of the protocols. We found that one can replace these projective measurements only by special error-free generalized energy measurements with pairs of tailored, protocol-dependent post-measurement states that satisfy detailed balance-like relations. For other generalized measurements, the Crooks relation is typically not satisfied. For the validity of the Jarzynski equality, it is sufficient that the measurements are error-free and the post-measurement states form a complete orthonormal set of elements in the Hilbert space of the considered system. We illustrate our results by the example of a two-level system for different generalized measurements.
