Partial order on passive states and Hoffman majorization in quantum thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
Passive states, i.e., those states from which no work can be extracted via unitary operations, play an important role in the foundations and applications of quantum thermodynamics.

A Resource Theory for Work and Heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Several recent results on thermodynamics have been obtained using the tools of quantum information theory and resource theories. So far, the resource theories utilised to describe thermodynamics have assumed the existence of an infinite thermal reservoir,

Thermodynamics of the Quantum Mpemba Effect. [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters
We investigate the quantum Mpemba effect from the perspective of nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics by studying relaxation dynamics of quantum systems coupled to a Markovian heat bath, which are described by Davies maps.

Entropy production along nonequilibrium quantum jump trajectories

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2013
For classical nonequilibrium systems, the separation of the total entropy production into the adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions is useful for understanding irreversibility in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Entropy of a Quantum Oscillator coupled to a Heat Bath and implications for Quantum Thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The free energy of a quantum oscillator in an arbitrary heat bath at a temperature T is given by a "remarkable formula" which involves only a single integral. This leads to a corresponding simple result for the entropy.

Two-dimensional Quantum-Corrected Eternal Black Hole [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
The one-loop quantum corrections to geometry and thermodynamics of black hole are studied for the two-dimensional RST model. We chose boundary conditions corresponding to the eternal black hole being in the thermal equilibrium with the Hawking radiation.

Quantum thermodynamics of two bosonic systems [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review A, 2020
We study the energy exchange between two bosonic systems that interact via bilinear transformations in the mode operators. The first mode is considered as the thermodynamic system, while the second is regarded as the bath.

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'

Fundamental limitations for quantum and nano thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The relationship between thermodynamics and statistical physics is valid in the thermodynamic limit - when the number of particles becomes very large. Here, we study thermodynamics in the opposite regime - at both the nano scale, and when quantum effects

Quantum thermodynamic cooling cycle [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2001
The quantum-mechanical and thermodynamic properties of a 3-level molecular cooling cycle are derived. An inadequacy of earlier models is rectified in accounting for the spontaneous emission and absorption associated with the coupling to the coherent driving field via an environmental reservoir.
