Algebraic criteria for complete relaxation in autonomous and periodically driven open quantum systems
Paul Menczel, Kay Brandner
We derive sufficient criteria that guarantee convergence of open quantum system dynamics to a unique long-time state independent of the initial conditions. We refer to this behavio…
Full counting statistics and first-passage times in quantum Markovian processes: Ensemble relations, metastability, and fluctuation theorems
Paul Menczel, Christian Flindt, Fredrik Brange +2
We develop a comprehensive framework for characterizing fluctuations in quantum transport and nonequilibrium thermodynamics using two complementary approaches: full counting statis…
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations for coherently driven open quantum systems
Paul Menczel, Eetu Loisa, Kay Brandner +1
In classical Markov jump processes, current fluctuations can only be reduced at the cost of increased dissipation. To explore how quantum effects influence this trade-off, we analy…
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…
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…
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…
