Ticking clocks in quantum theory
Ralph Silva, Nuriya Nurgalieva, Henrik Wilming
We present a derivation of the structure and dynamics of a ticking clock by showing that for finite systems a single natural principle serves to distinguish what we understand as t…
Landauer vs. Nernst: What is the True Cost of Cooling a Quantum System?
Philip Taranto, Faraj Bakhshinezhad, Andreas Bluhm +9
Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of thermodyn…
Hybrid Thermal Machines: Generalized Thermodynamic Resources for Multitasking
Gonzalo Manzano, Rafael Sánchez, Ralph Silva +4
Thermal machines perform useful tasks--such as producing work, cooling, or heating--by exchanging energy, and possibly additional conserved quantities such as particles, with reser…
Accuracy enhancing protocols for quantum clocks
Yuxiang Yang, Lennart Baumgärtner, Ralph Silva +1
The accuracy of the time information generated by clocks can be enhanced by allowing them to communicate with each other. Here we consider a basic scenario where a quantum clock re…
Noise-robust preparation contextuality shared between any number of observers via unsharp measurements
Hammad Anwer, Natalie Wilson, Ralph Silva +3
Multiple observers who independently harvest nonclassical correlations from a single physical system share the system's ability to enable quantum correlations. We show that any num…
Unifying paradigms of quantum refrigeration: A universal and attainable bound on cooling
Fabien Clivaz, Ralph Silva, Géraldine Haack +3
Cooling quantum systems is arguably one of the most important thermodynamic tasks connected to modern quantum technologies and an interesting question from a foundational perspecti…
