Measurement-Induced Quantum Synchronization and Multiplexing

Finn Schmolke, Eric Lutz

Measurements are able to fundamentally affect quantum dynamics. We here show that a continuously measured quantum many-body system can undergo a spontaneous transition from asynchr…

Efficiency at maximum power of a Carnot quantum information engine

Paul Fadler, Alexander Friedenberger, Eric Lutz

Optimizing the performance of thermal machines is an essential task of thermodynamics. We here consider the optimization of information engines that convert information about the s…

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of quantum coherence beyond linear response

Franklin L. S. Rodrigues, Eric Lutz

Quantum thermodynamics allows for the interconversion of quantum coherence and mechanical work. Quantum coherence is thus a potential physical resource for quantum machines. Howeve…

Making statistics work: a quantum engine in the BEC-BCS crossover

Jennifer Koch, Keerthy Menon, Eloisa Cuestas +5

Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work both in the classical and quantum regimes. However, quantum theory offers genuine nonclassical forms of energy, different f…

Power of a quasi-spin quantum Otto engine at negative effective temperature

Jens Nettersheim, Sabrina Burgardt, Quentin Bouton +3

Heat engines usually operate by exchanging heat with thermal baths at different (positive) temperatures. Nonthermal baths may, however, lead to a significant performance boost. We…

Noise-induced quantum synchronization

Finn Schmolke, Eric Lutz

Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon in science and technology. We here study noise-induced synchronization in a quantum spin chain subjected to local Gaussian white noise. W…
