Nonreciprocal Quantum Mpemba Effect
Wei-Bin Yan, Ying-Jie Zhang, Yun-Jie Xia +2
The paper shows that swapping the parameters of two identical reservoirs in an open quantum system can turn a quantum Mpemba effect on or off without altering the initial state, du…
Anomalous heat flow and quantum Otto cycle with indefinite causal order
Qing-Feng Xue, Qi Zhang, Xu-Cai Zhuang +5
The principle that heat spontaneously flows from higher temperature to lower temperature is a cornerstone of classical thermodynamics, often assumed to be independent of the sequen…
Steady-state coherence in multipartite quantum systems: its connection with thermodynamic quantities and impact on quantum thermal machines
Rui Huang, Q. Y. Cai, Farzam Nosrati +2
Understanding how coherence of quantum systems affects thermodynamic quantities, such as work and heat, is essential for harnessing quantumness effectively in thermal quantum techn…
Qubit coupled with an effective negative-absolute-temperature bath in off-resonant collision model
Wei-Bin Yan, Zhong-Xiao Man, Ying-Jie Zhang +1
Quantum collision model provides a promising tool for investigating system-bath dynamics. Most of the studies on quantum collision models work in the resonant regime. In quantum dy…
