Thermodynamic fluctuation theorems govern human sensorimotor learning
Pedro Hack, Cecilia Lindig-Leon, Sebastian Gottwald +1
The application of thermodynamic reasoning in the study of learning systems has a long tradition. Recently, new tools relating perfect thermodynamic adaptation to the adaptation pr…
Majorization requires infinitely many second laws
Pedro Hack, Daniel A. Braun, Sebastian Gottwald
Majorization is a fundamental model of uncertainty with several applications in areas ranging from thermodynamics to entanglement theory, and constitutes one of the pillars of the…
Jarzyski's equality and Crooks' fluctuation theorem for general Markov chains with application to decision-making systems
Pedro Hack, Sebastian Gottwald, Daniel A. Braun
We define common thermodynamic concepts purely within the framework of general Markov chains and derive Jarzynski's equality and Crooks' fluctuation theorem in this setup. In parti…
A Variance Reduction Technique for the Stochastic Liouville-von Neuman Equation
Konstantin Schmitz, Jürgen T. Stockburger
The Stochastic Liouville-von Neumann equation provides an exact numerical simulation strategy for quantum systems interacting with Gaussian reservoirs [J.T. Stockburger & H. Graber…
Rectification of heat currents across nonlinear quantum chains: A versatile approach beyond weak thermal contact
Thomas Motz, Michael Wiedmann, Jürgen T. Stockburger +1
Within the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics the issues of heat transfer and heat rectification are basic ingredients for the understanding and design of heat engines or ref…
Phase Diagram and Conformal String Excitations of Square Ice using Gauge Invariant Matrix Product States
Ferdinand Tschirsich, Simone Montangero, Marcello Dalmonte
We investigate the ground state phase diagram of square ice -- a U(1) lattice gauge theory in two spatial dimensions -- using gauge invariant tensor network techniques. By correlat…
