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…
