A single-atom heat engine
Johannes Roßnagel, Samuel Thomas Dawkins, Karl Nicolas Tolazzi +4
We report the experimental realization of a single-atom heat engine. An ion is confined in a linear Paul trap with tapered geometry and driven thermally by coupling it alternately…
When is a quantum heat engine quantum?
Alexander Friedenberger, Eric Lutz
Quantum thermodynamics studies quantum effects in thermal machines. But when is a heat engine, which cyclically interacts with external reservoirs that unavoidably destroy its quan…
Thermodynamics of weakly measured quantum systems
Jose Joaquin Alonso, Eric Lutz, Alessandro Romito
We consider continuously monitored quantum systems and introduce definitions of work and heat along individual quantum trajectories that are valid for coherent superpositions of en…
Wiener-Khinchin theorem for nonstationary scale-invariant processes
Andreas Dechant, Eric Lutz
We derive a generalization of the Wiener-Khinchin theorem for nonstationary processes by introducing a time-dependent spectral density that is related to the time-averaged power. W…
Irreversibility and the arrow of time in a quenched quantum system
T. B. Batalhao, A. M. Souza, R. S. Sarthour +4
Irreversibility is one of the most intriguing concepts in physics. While microscopic physical laws are perfectly reversible, macroscopic average behavior has a preferred direction…
