We have experimentally investigated fluctuation relations of a quantum system in the presence of decoherence. In the so-called
two-measurement protocol (TMP), taking into account only the fluctuations of the internal energy, deviations from the Jarzynski-type relations are caused by dissipation and dephasing of the system [1]. In our experiment, a transmon qubit in a 3D superconducting resonator undergoes a protocol with two serial non-demolition measurements and two unitary control pulses in between. The deviations in the fluctuation relations are studied as a function of the delay times between the measurements and the controls.
