Contributions to single-shot energy exchanges in open quantum systems
R. Sampaio, J. Anders, T. G. Philbin +1
The exchange of energy between a classical open system and its environment can be analysed for a single run of an experiment using the phase space trajectory of the system. By cont…
Quantum Work in the Bohmian framework
Rui Sampaio, Samu Suomela, Tapio Ala-Nissila +2
At non-zero temperature classical systems exhibit statistical fluctuations of thermodynamic quantities arising from the variation of the system's initial conditions and its interac…
Damped vacuum states of light
T. G. Philbin
We consider one-dimensional propagation of quantum light in the presence of a block of material, with a full account of dispersion and absorption. The electromagnetic zero-point en…
Thermal energies of classical and quantum damped oscillators coupled to reservoirs
T. G. Philbin, J. Anders
We consider the global thermal state of classical and quantum harmonic oscillators that interact with a reservoir. Ohmic damping of the oscillator can be exactly treated with a 1D…
Derivation of quantum probabilities from deterministic evolution
T. G. Philbin
The predictions of quantum mechanics are probabilistic. Quantum probabilities are extracted using a postulate of the theory called the Born rule, the status of which is central to…
Generalized coherent states
T. G. Philbin
In the coherent state of the harmonic oscillator, the probability density is that of the ground state subjected to an oscillation along a classical trajectory. Senitzky and others…
