Quantum thermodynamics with multiple conserved quantities [PDF]

, 2018
In this chapter we address the topic of quantum thermodynamics in the presence of additional observables beyond the energy of the system. In particular we discuss the special role that the generalized Gibbs ensemble plays in this theory, and derive this ...

Passivity Deformation Approach for the Thermodynamics of Isolated Quantum Setups

PRX Quantum, 2021
Recently implemented quantum devices such as quantum processors and quantum simulators combine highly complicated quantum dynamics with high-resolution measurements. We present a passivity deformation methodology that sets constraints on the evolution of

Gravity as a thermodynamic phenomenon [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The analogy between the laws of black hole mechanics and the laws of thermodynamics led Bekenstein and Hawking to argue that black holes should be considered as real thermodynamic systems that are characterised by entropy and temperature. Black hole thermodynamics indicates a deeper connection between thermodynamics and gravity.

Quantum Collapse and the Second Law of Thermodynamics

, 2012
A heat engine undergoes a cyclic operation while in equilibrium with the net result of conversion of heat into work. Quantum effects such as superposition of states can improve an engine's efficiency by breaking detailed balance, but this improvement ...

Fluctuating work in coherent quantum systems: proposals and limitations

, 2018
One of the most important goals in quantum thermodynamics is to demonstrate advantages of thermodynamic protocols over their classical counterparts. For that, it is necessary to (i) develop theoretical tools and experimental set-ups to deal with quantum ...

Phenomenological Quantum Thermodynamics of Closed Bipartite Schottky Systems [PDF]

, 2019
How to introduce thermodynamics to quantum mechanics ? Among from numerous possibilities of solving this task, the simple choice is here: The conventional von Neumann equation deals with a density operator whose probability weights are time independent. Because there is no reason apart from the reversible quantum mechanics that these weights have to be

Explanation of the Gibbs paradox within the framework of quantum thermodynamics

, 2006
The issue of the Gibbs paradox is that when considering mixing of two gases within classical thermodynamics, the entropy of mixing appears to be a discontinuous function of the difference between the gases: it is finite for whatever small difference, but

Entanglement thermodynamics [PDF]

arXiv, 1998
Entanglement entropy is a statistical entropy measuring information loss due to coarse-graining corresponding to a spatial division of a system. In this paper we construct a thermodynamics (entanglement thermodynamics) which includes the entanglement entropy as the entropy variable, for a massless scalar field in Minkowski, Schwarzschild and Reissner ...
