Open-system approach to nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics at arbitrary coupling [PDF]
Physical Review A, 2021 We develop a general theory describing the thermodynamical behavior of open quantum systems coupled to thermal baths beyond perturbation theory. Our approach is based on the exact time-local quantum master equation for the reduced open system states, and

Can Quantum Correlations Lead to Violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Entropy, 2021 Quantum entanglement can cause the efficiency of a heat engine to be greater than the efficiency of the Carnot cycle. However, this does not mean a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, since there is no local equilibrium for pure quantum states,

Thermodynamics of Quantum Trajectories on a Quantum Computer
Physical Review Letters, 2023 Quantum computers have recently become available as noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Already these machines yield a useful environment for research on quantum systems and dynamics. Building on this opportunity, we investigate open-system dynamics that are simulated on a quantum computer by coupling a system of interest to an ancilla.

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 ...

First and Second Law of Quantum Thermodynamics: A Consistent Derivation Based on a Microscopic Definition of Entropy [PDF]
PRX Quantum, 2020 Deriving the laws of thermodynamics from a microscopic picture is a central quest of statistical mechanics. This tutorial focuses on the derivation of the first and second law for isolated and open quantum systems far from equilibrium, where such ...

Thermodynamics of Quantum Feedback Cooling [PDF]
Entropy, 2016 The ability to initialize quantum registers in pure states lies at the core of many applications of quantum technologies, from sensing to quantum information processing and computation. In this paper, we tackle the problem of increasing the polarization bias of an ensemble of two-level register spins by means of joint coherent manipulations, involving ...

Quantum Thermodynamics of Correlated-Catalytic State Conversion at Small Scale. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 The class of possible thermodynamic conversions can be extended by introducing an auxiliary system called catalyst, which assists in state conversion while its own state remains unchanged.
