Speedups in nonequilibrium thermal relaxation: Mpemba and related effects
Gianluca Teza, John Bechhoefer, Antonio Lasanta +2
Most of our intuition about the behavior of physical systems is shaped by observations at or near thermal equilibrium. However, even a thermal quench can lead to states far from th…

Asymmetries of thermal processes in open quantum systems
Ãlvaro Tejero, Rafael Sánchez, Laiachi El Kaoutit +2
An intriguing phenomenon in non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is the asymmetry of thermal processes. Relaxation to thermal equilibrium is the most important dissipative proces…
