Topological phases in the presence of disorder and longer-range couplings
Gianluca Francica, Edoardo Maria Tiburzi, Luca Dell'Anna
We study the combined effects of disorder and range of the couplings on the phase diagram of one-dimensional topological superconductors. We consider an extended version of the Kit…
What is the most general class of quasiprobabilities of work?
Gianluca Francica
How to give a statistical description of thermodynamics in quantum systems is an open fundamental question. Concerning the work, the presence of initial quantum coherence in the en…
Causal games of work extraction with indefinite causal order
Gianluca Francica
An indefinite causal order, where the causes of events are not necessarily in past events, is predicted by the process matrix framework. A fundamental question is how these non-sep…
Anomalous universal adiabatic dynamics: The case of the Fredkin model
Gianluca Francica, Luca Dell'Anna
When a system is driven across a second-order quantum phase transition, the number of defects which are produced scales with the speed of the variation of the tuning parameter acco…
Correlations, long-range entanglement and dynamics in long-range Kitaev chains
Gianluca Francica, Luca Dell'Anna
Long-range interactions exhibit surprising features which have been less explored so far. Here, studying a one-dimensional fermionic chain with long-range hopping and pairing, we d…
Quantum correlations and ergotropy
Gianluca Francica
Understanding the role of classical and quantum correlations in work extraction is a problem of fundamental importance in thermodynamics. We approach this problem by considering th…
