Simulations of protocol 2. (a) Distributions of times above threshold for a simulated time signal at different threshold values Σ. Here, a sample denotes a timestep of the integrator.³ This captures the experimental results, although the experimental and simulated distributions do not overlap completely due to uncertainty of the experimental parameters. (b) The simulated signal can be used to calculate the distribution q (using the same \(\omega _{L} = 450\text{ kHz}\), \(T_{2} = 2~\upmu\text{s}\), and threshold \(\Sigma = 5 \sigma \)), which can be used to estimate the entropy production of the experimental system
