Maximum power heat engines and refrigerators in the fast-driving regime
Vasco Cavina, Paolo A. Erdman, Paolo Abiuso +2
We study the optimization of the performance of arbitrary periodically driven thermal machines. Within the assumption of fast modulation of the driving parameters, we derive the op…
Discrimination of thermal baths by single qubit probes
Ilaria Gianani, Donato Farina, Marco Barbieri +3
Non-equilibrium states of quantum systems in contact with thermal baths help telling environments with different temperatures or different statistics apart. We extend these studies…
Work statistics across a quantum phase transition
Zhaoyu Fei, Nahuel Freitas, Vasco Cavina +2
We investigate the statistics of the work performed during a quench across a quantum phase transition using the adiabatic perturbation theory. It is shown that all the cumulants of…
Quantum bath statistics tagging
Donato Farina, Vasco Cavina, Vittorio Giovannetti
The possibility of discriminating the statistics of a thermal bath using indirect measurements performed on quantum probes is presented. The scheme relies on the fact that, when we…
Maximum power and corresponding efficiency for two-level heat engines and refrigerators: optimality of fast cycles
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Vasco Cavina, Rosario Fazio +2
We study how to achieve the ultimate power in the simplest, yet non trivial, model of a thermal machine, namely a two-level quantum system coupled to two thermal baths. Without mak…
Optimal probabilistic work extraction beyond the free energy difference with a single-electron device
Olivier Maillet, Paolo A. Erdman, Vasco Cavina +8
We experimentally realize protocols that allow to extract work beyond the free energy difference from a single electron transistor at the single thermodynamic trajectory level. Wit…
