The multivariate fluctuation relation is established for the full counting statistics of the energy and particle fluxes across an open quantum system in contact with several reservoirs on the basis of microreversibility The quantum version of the nonequilibrium work fluctuation relation is recovered in the presence of a single reservoir. In the long-time limit, the time-reversal symmetry relation is expressed in terms of the cumulative generating function for the full counting statistics. In systems with independent particles, the symmetry relation can be obtained in the scattering approach for the transport of bosons and fermions. The temporal disorder and its time asymmetry can be characterized by the quantum version of the entropy and coentropy per unit time. Their difference gives the thermodynamic entropy production rate. Furthermore, the stochastic approach is also considered for electron transport in quantum dots, quantum point contacts, and single-electron transistors.
