Quantum speed-up in collisional battery charging
Stella Seah, Martí Perarnau-Llobet, Géraldine Haack +2
We present a collision model for the charging of a quantum battery by identical nonequilibrium qubit units. When the units are prepared in a mixture of energy eigenstates, the ener…
Contributions from populations and coherences in non-equilibrium entropy production
Adalberto D. Varizi, Mariana A. Cipolla, Martí Perarnau-Llobet +2
The entropy produced when a quantum system is driven away from equilibrium can be decomposed in two parts, one related with populations and the other with quantum coherences. The l…
Minimizing back-action through entangled measurements
Kang-Da Wu, Elisa Bäumer, Jun-Feng Tang +5
When an observable is measured on an evolving coherent quantum system twice, the first measurement generally alters the statistics of the second one, which is known as measurement…
Optimal Quantum Thermometry with Coarse-grained Measurements
Karen V. Hovhannisyan, Mathias R. Jørgensen, Gabriel T. Landi +3
Precise thermometry for quantum systems is important to the development of new technology, and understanding the ultimate limits to precision presents a fundamental challenge. It i…
Speed-ups to isothermality: Enhanced quantum thermal machines through control of the system-bath coupling
Nicola Pancotti, Matteo Scandi, Mark T. Mitchison +1
Isothermal transformations are minimally dissipative but slow processes, as the system needs to remain close to thermal equilibrium along the protocol. Here, we show that smoothly…
Quantum work statistics close to equilibrium
Matteo Scandi, Harry J. D. Miller, Janet Anders +1
We study the statistics of work, dissipation, and entropy production of a quantum quasi-isothermal process, where the system remains close to the thermal equilibrium along the tran…
