Pareto-optimal work extraction and the thermodynamic cost of precision in quantum information engines

Jonas Berx, Ted Olander, Henning Kirchberg

The paper analyzes a finite-time quantum information engine where a two‑level system is measured by a quantum harmonic oscillator, and extracts work conditionally on the measuremen…

Activating thermally charged quantum batteries in finite time: Thermodynamic trade-offs between correlations, work, and information

Bhaskar Barman, Janine Splettstoesser, Henning Kirchberg

The paper proposes a time‑dependent stirring protocol that activates thermally charged quantum batteries by coupling them to an auxiliary system, generating correlations and using…

Optimizing energy conversion with nonthermal resources in steady-state quantum devices

Elsa Danielsson, Henning Kirchberg, Janine Splettstoesser

We provide a framework for optimizing energy conversion processes in coherent quantum conductors fed by nonthermal resources. Such nonthermal resources, which cannot be characteriz…

Optimising finite-time quantum information engines using Pareto bounds

Rasmus Hagman, Jonas Berx, Janine Splettstoesser +1

Information engines harness measurement and feedback to convert energy into useful work. In this study, we investigate the fundamental trade-offs between ergotropic output power, t…

Quantum information engines: Bounds on performance metrics by measurement time

Henning Kirchberg, Abraham Nitzan

Information engines, sometimes referred to as Maxwell Demon engines, utilize information obtained through measurement to control the conversion of energy into useful work. Discussi…
