Correlations as a resource in quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2019
AbstractThe presence of correlations in physical systems can be a valuable resource for many quantum information tasks. They are also relevant in thermodynamic transformations, and their creation is usually associated to some energetic cost. In this work, we study the role of correlations in the thermodynamic process of state formation in the single ...

Quantum thermodynamics of a quantum sized AdS black hole

open access: yesNuclear Physics B, 2022
In this paper, we investigate the effects of non-perturbative quantum gravitational corrections on a quantum sized AdS black hole. It will be observed that these non-perturbative quantum gravitational corrections modify the stability of this black hole ...

Thermodynamics at microscales: 3D→2D, 1D and 0D

open access: yesGreen Energy & Environment, 2020
Today, the laws of traditional thermodynamics are facing challenges when science is growing rapidly toward the microscale-world, even quantum hypothesis.

Thermodynamic Principle for Quantum Metrology

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2022
The heat dissipation in quantum metrology represents not only an unavoidable problem towards practical applications of quantum sensing devices but also a fundamental relationship between thermodynamics and quantum metrology. However, a general thermodynamic principle which governs the rule of energy consumption in quantum metrology, similar to Landauer'

Quantum thermodynamics of general quantum processes [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2015
Accurately describing work extraction from a quantum system is a central objective for the extension of thermodynamics to individual quantum systems. The concepts of work and heat are surprisingly subtle when generalizations are made to arbitrary quantum states.

Verification of Information Thermodynamics in a Trapped Ion System

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
Information thermodynamics has developed rapidly over past years, and the trapped ions, as a controllable quantum system, have demonstrated feasibility to experimentally verify the theoretical predictions in the information thermodynamics.

Thermodynamics of an Incommensurate Quantum Crystal [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 2005
We present a theory of the thermodynamics of an incommensurate quantum solid. The ground state of the solid is assumed to be an incommensurate crystal, with quantum zero-point vacancies and interstitials and thus a non-integer number of atoms per unit cell.

Gaussian work extraction from random Gaussian states is nearly impossible

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2023
Quantum thermodynamics can be naturally phrased as a theory of quantum state transformation and energy exchange for small-scale quantum systems undergoing thermodynamical processes, thereby making the resource theoretical approach very well suited. A key

Probabilistically violating the first law of thermodynamics in a quantum heat engine

open access: yesSciPost Physics, 2022
Fluctuations of thermodynamic observables, such as heat and work, contain relevant information on the underlying physical process. These fluctuations are however not taken into account in the traditional laws of thermodynamics. While the second law is
