A general derivation and quantification of the third law of thermodynamics
Nature Communications, 2017 The third law of thermodynamics, first formulated in 1912, states that any process cannot reach absolute zero temperature in finite time. Here, the authors derive the third law in the quantum regime as a bound on the resources necessary to cool a system ...

Slow Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Open Quantum Systems
Proceedings, 2019 We develop a perturbation theory to estimate the finite time corrections around a quasi static trajectory, in which a quantum system is able to equilibrate at each instant with its environment.

Emergent Spin Supersolids in Frustrated Quantum Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights developments in the study of spin super‐solids in frustrated quantum materials. Advanced experimental characterizations and computational studies enable a comprehensive understanding of the driving mechanisms of spin super‐solidity in various layered transition‐metal compounds, bridging materials, experiments, and theory aspects.

Derivation of the Critical Point Scaling Hypothesis Using Thermodynamics Only
, 2020 Based on the foundations of thermodynamics and the equilibrium conditions for the coexistence of two phases in a magnetic Ising-like system, we show, first, that there is a critical point where the isothermal susceptibility diverges and the specific heat

Thermodynamic Optimization for an Endoreversible Dual-Miller Cycle (DMC) with Finite Speed of Piston
Entropy, 2018 Power output ( P ), thermal efficiency ( η ) and ecological function ( E ) characteristics of an endoreversible Dual-Miller cycle (DMC) with finite speed of the piston and finite rate of heat transfer are investigated by applying finite time ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A giant insulator to metal transition and emergent superparamagnetism are revealed by nanoparticle exsolution in non‐stoichiometric titanate perovskite thin films. By combining transport, synchrotron spectroscopy, and first‐principles calculations, this work reveals how defect reconfiguration and lattice reconstruction fundamentally reshape electronic ...

The quantum friction and optimal finite-time performance of the quantum Otto cycle
, 2020 In this work we considered the quantum Otto cycle within an optimization framework. The goal was maximizing the power for a heat engine or maximizing the cooling power for a refrigerator. In the field of finite-time quantum thermodynamics it is common to

Quantum stochastic thermodynamic on harmonic networks
New Journal of Physics, 2016 Fluctuation theorems are symmetry relations for the probability to observe an amount of entropy production in a finite-time process. In a recent paper Pigeon et al (2016 New. J. Phys.
