Impossibility of universal work extraction from coherence: reconciling axiomatic and resource-theory approaches

New Journal of Physics
We compare how the impossibility of a universal work extractor from coherence arises from different approaches to quantum thermodynamics: an explicit protocol accounting for all relevant quantum resources, and axiomatic, information-theoretic constraints

A method for predicting non-equilibrium thermal expansion using steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics [PDF]

Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2018
Steepest-entropy-ascent quantum thermodynamics (SEAQT) is an intriguing approach that describes equilibrium and dynamic processes in a self-consistent way.

Experimental and Theoretical Confirmation of Covalent Bonding in α‐Pu

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
From a combination of Reverse Monte Carlo dynamic rigid body fitting to the pair distribution functional and novel density functional approaches, the existence of covalent bonding is confirmed in α‐plutonium alongside other bonding types (i.e. mixed bonding schemes).

Thermodynamics in Loop Quantum Cosmology [PDF]

Advances in High Energy Physics, 2009
Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is very powerful to deal with the behavior of early universe. Moreover, the effective loop quantum cosmology gives a successful description of the universe in the semiclassical region. We consider the apparent horizon of the Friedmann‐Robertson‐Walker universe as a thermodynamical system and ...

Some Trends in Quantum Thermodynamics

Entropy, 2014
Traditional answers to what the 2nd Law is are well known. Some are based on the microstate of a system wandering rapidly through all accessible phase space, while others are based on the idea of a system occupying an initial multitude of states due to ...

Fluctuation and inertia

Nuclear Physics B, 2020
How the principle of inertia survives quantum fluctuations is an interesting question. Smolin has proposed a hypothesis that quantum fluctuations are in fact real statistical fluctuations.

Understanding and Addressing the Performance Asymmetry Issue in Semitransparent Laminated Organic Photovoltaic Devices

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work addresses the challenge of current–voltage asymmetry in scalable laminated semitransparent organic photovoltaics (OPVs) for indoor applications. Vertical stratification of materials is shown to create an energy barrier, leading to performance differences under different illumination directions.
