Comment on: "Sadi Carnot on Carnot's theorem"
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
Carnot established in 1824 that the efficiency of reversible engines operating between a hot bath at absolute temperature and a cold bath at temperature $T_{cold}…
Statistics of non-interacting bosons and fermions in micro-canonical, canonical and grand-canonical ensembles: A survey
Fabrice Philippe, Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau
The statistical properties of non-interacting bosons and fermions confined in trapping potentials are most easily obtained when the system may exchange energy and particles with a…
A simple quantum heat engine
Jacques Arnaud, Laurent Chusseau, Fabrice Philippe
Quantum heat engines employ as working agents multi-level systems instead of gas-filled cylinders. We consider particularly two-level agents such as electrons immersed in a magneti…
Rate equation theory of sub-Poissonian laser light
Jacques Arnaud
Lasers essentially consist of single-mode optical cavities containing two-level atoms with a supply of energy called the pump and a sink of energy, perhaps an optical detector. The…
Photon number variance in isolated cavities
Fabrice Philippe, Jacques Arnaud
We consider a strictly isolated single-mode optical cavity resonating at angular frequency omega containing atoms whose one-electron level energies are supposed to be: hbar*omega,…
Monte Carlo Simulation of Laser Diodes Sub-Poissonian Light Generation
L. Chusseau, J. Arnaud
When laser diodes are driven by high-impedance electrical sources the variance of the number of photo-detection events counted over large time durations is less than the average nu…
