Quantum jump approach to microscopic heat engines
Paul Menczel, Christian Flindt, Kay Brandner
Modern technologies could soon make it possible to investigate the operation cycles of quantum heat engines by counting the photons that are emitted and absorbed by their working s…
Limit cycles in periodically driven open quantum systems
Paul Menczel, Kay Brandner
We investigate the long-time behavior of quantum N-level systems that are coupled to a Markovian environment and subject to periodic driving. As our main result, we obtain a genera…
Thermodynamics of Cyclic Quantum Amplifiers
Paul Menczel, Christian Flindt, Kay Brandner
We develop a generic model for a cyclic quantum heat engine that makes it possible to coherently amplify a periodically modulated input signal without the need to couple the workin…
Two-Stroke Optimization Scheme for Mesoscopic Refrigerators
Paul Menczel, Tuomas Pyhäranta, Christian Flindt +1
Refrigerators use a thermodynamic cycle to move thermal energy from a cold reservoir to a hot one. Implementing this operation principle with mesoscopic components has recently eme…
Universal First-Passage-Time Distribution of Non-Gaussian Currents
Shilpi Singh, Paul Menczel, Dmitry S. Golubev +6
We investigate the fluctuations of the time elapsed until the electric charge transferred through a conductor reaches a given threshold value. For this purpose, we measure the dist…
Photon counting statistics of a microwave cavity
Fredrik Brange, Paul Menczel, Christian Flindt
The development of microwave photon detectors is paving the way for a wide range of quantum technologies and fundamental discoveries involving single photons. Here, we investigate…
