Quantum Thermodynamics: An Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Quantum Computers [PDF]
Proceedings of 5th International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications, 2019 We are the verge of a technological revolution. Over the last couple of years the first computational devices have become commercially available that promise to exploit so-called quantum supremacy. Even though the thermodynamic cost for processing classical information has been known since the 1960s, the thermodynamic description of quantum computers ...

Thermodynamics of quantum heat bath [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2016 A model for the thermodynamics of a quantum heat bath is introduced. Under the assumption that the bath molecules have finitely many degrees of freedom and are weakly interacting, we present a general derivation of the equation of state of the bath in the thermodynamic limit.

Quantum thermodynamics with local control [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2018 We investigate the limitations that emerge in thermodynamic tasks as a result of having local control only over the components of a thermal machine. These limitations are particularly relevant for devices composed of interacting many-body systems. Specifically, we study protocols of work extraction that employ a many-body system as a working medium ...

Thermodynamical Quantum Gravity [PDF]
Applied Mathematics and Physics, 2014 The canonically quantized 3+1 General Relativity with the global one dimensionality conjecture defines the model, which dimensionally reduced and secondary quantized yields the one-dimensional quantum field theory wherein the generic one-point correlations create a boson mass responsible for quantum gravity.

Quantum corrections to the thermodynamics of black branes
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 In this paper we study the thermodynamics of black branes at quantum scales. We analyze both perturbative and non-perturbative corrections to the thermodynamics of such black branes.

Thermodynamics of an Incommensurate Quantum Crystal [PDF]
Science, 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.

Fluctuating Work: From Quantum Thermodynamical Identities to a Second Law Equality
Physical Review X, 2016 We investigate the connection between recent results in quantum thermodynamics and fluctuation relations by adopting a fully quantum mechanical description of thermodynamics.

Quantum corrections for thermodynamics [PDF]
Il Nuovo Cimento B, 1978 We generalize an expression for the trace of an operator due to Nishijima and derive, without the use of tedious mathematics, the Kirkwood expansion for the quantum-mechanical partition function. This expansion is applied to three simple systems and its use for more complex systems is thereby made clear.

Quantum thermodynamics of a quantum sized AdS black hole
Nuclear 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 ...

Gravitation, Thermodynamics, and Quantum Theory [PDF]
Class.Quant.Grav.16:A177-A190,1999, 1999 During the past 30 years, research in general relativity has brought to light strong hints of a very deep and fundamental relationship between gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory. The most striking indication of such a relationship comes from black hole thermodynamics, where it appears that certain laws of black hole mechanics are, in fact,
