Imperfect Thermalizations Allow for Optimal Thermodynamic Processes
Elisa Bäumer, Martí Perarnau-Llobet, Philipp Kammerlander +2
Optimal (reversible) processes in thermodynamics can be modelled as step-by-step processes, where the system is successively thermalized with respect to different Hamiltonians by a…
Markovian master equations for quantum thermal machines: local vs global approach
Patrick P. Hofer, Martí Perarnau-Llobet, L. David M. Miranda +4
The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems, often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand, there is t…
Adding dynamical generators in quantum master equations
Jan Kolodynski, Jonatan Bohr Brask, Marti Perarnau-Llobet +1
The quantum master equation is a widespread approach to describing open quantum system dynamics. In this approach, the effect of the environment on the system evolution is entirely…
Strong coupling corrections in quantum thermodynamics
M. Perarnau-Llobet, H. Wilming, A. Riera +2
Quantum systems strongly coupled to many-body systems equilibrate to the reduced state of a global thermal state, deviating from the local thermal state of the system as it occurs…
Quantum Thermal Machine as a Thermometer
Patrick P. Hofer, Jonatan Bohr Brask, Martí Perarnau-Llobet +1
We propose the use of a quantum thermal machine for low-temperature thermometry. A hot thermal reservoir coupled to the machine allows for simultaneously cooling the sample while d…
