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…
