Complexity-Constrained Quantum Thermodynamics

open access: yesPRX Quantum
Quantum complexity measures the difficulty of realizing a quantum process, such as preparing a state or implementing a unitary. We present an approach to quantifying the thermodynamic resources required to implement a process if the process’s complexity ...

Work extraction and thermodynamics for individual quantum systems

open access: green, 2014
Thermodynamics is traditionally concerned with systems comprised of a large number of particles. Here we present a framework for extending thermodynamics to individual quantum systems, including explicitly a thermal bath and work-storage device ...

Noncommuting conserved charges in quantum thermodynamics and beyond [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Physics, 2023
Thermodynamic systems typically conserve quantities (known as charges) such as energy and particle number. The charges are often assumed implicitly to commute with each other.

Steady-state quantum thermodynamics with synthetic negative temperatures [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2023
A bath with a negative temperature is a subject of intense debate in recent times. It raises fundamental questions not only on our understanding of negative temperature of a bath in connection with thermodynamics but also on the possibilities of ...

Quantum thermodynamics of boundary time-crystals [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum Science and Technology, 2023
Time-translation symmetry breaking is a mechanism for the emergence of non-stationary many-body phases, so-called time-crystals, in Markovian open quantum systems.

Entropy production in the mesoscopic-leads formulation of quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2023
Understanding the entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core problem of both quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics.

Impact of non-Markovian evolution on characterizations of quantum thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Quantum Science and Technology, 2023
Here, we study the impact of non-Markovian evolution on prominent characteristics of quantum thermodynamics such as ergotropy and power. These are benchmarked by the behavior of the quantum speed limit time.

Non-hermitian quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2016
AbstractThermodynamics is the phenomenological theory of heat and work. Here we analyze to what extent quantum thermodynamic relations are immune to the underlying mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. As a main result, we show that the Jarzynski equality holds true for all non-hermitian quantum systems with real spectrum.
