Unified Quantum Model of Work Generation in Thermoelectric Generators, Solar and Fuel Cells
Entropy, 2016 In the previous papers, the idea of “hidden oscillations” has been applied to explain work generation in semiconductor photovoltaic cells and thermoelectric generators. The aim of this paper is firstly to extend this approach to fuel cells and, secondly,

Geometric effect and gauge field in nonequilibrium quantum thermostatistics
, 2005 The concept of work is studied in quantum thermostatistics of a system surrounded by an environment and driven by an external force. It is found that there emerges the gauge theoretical structure in a nonequilibrium process, the field of which is ...

Quantifying spatial correlations of general quantum dynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Understanding the role of correlations in quantum systems is both a fundamental challenge as well as of high practical relevance for the control of multi-particle quantum systems.

The Wigner-Yanase information can increase under phase sensitive incoherent operations
, 2015 We found that the Wigner-Yanase skew information, which has been recently proposed as a measure of coherence in [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{113}, 170401(2014)], can increase under a class of operations which may be interpreted as incoherent following the ...

Decoherence properties of arbitrarily long histories [PDF]
, 2004 Within the decoherent histories formulation of quantum mechanics, we consider arbitrarily long histories constructed from a fixed projective partition of a finite-dimensional Hilbert space.

Collective spontaneous emission from pairs of quantum dots: long-range vs. short-range couplings
, 2011 We study the spontaneous emission from a coherently delocalized exciton state in a double quantum dot as a function of the distance between the dots, focusing on the similarities and differences between the cases of radiative (long-range, dipole) and ...

Currents and fluctuations of quantum heat transport in harmonic chains
New Journal of Physics, 2017 Heat transport in open quantum systems is particularly susceptible to the modeling of system–reservoir interactions. It thus requires us to consistently treat the coupling between a quantum system and its environment.

, 2011 Recently Leggett's proposal of non-local model generates new interest in simulating the statistics of singlet state. Singlet state statistics can be simulated by 1 bit of classical communication without using any further nonlocal correlation.

Energy decay and frequency shift of a superconducting qubit from non-equilibrium quasiparticles
, 2011 Quasiparticles are an important decoherence mechanism in superconducting qubits, and can be described with a complex admittance that is a generalization of the Mattis-Bardeen theory.
