Entropy production in the mesoscopic-leads formulation of quantum thermodynamics
Artur M. Lacerda, Michael J. Kewming, Marlon Brenes +4
Understanding the entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core problem of both quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. While there exist many te…
Powering an autonomous clock with quantum electromechanics
Oisin Culhane, Michael J. Kewming, Alessandro Silva +2
We theoretically analyse an autonomous clock comprising a nanoelectromechanical system, which undergoes self-oscillations driven by electron tunnelling. The periodic mechanical mot…
Calculating the many-body density of states on a digital quantum computer
Alessandro Summer, Cecilia Chiaracane, Mark T. Mitchison +1
Quantum statistical mechanics allows us to extract thermodynamic information from a microscopic description of a many-body system. A key step is the calculation of the density of s…
Current fluctuations in open quantum systems: Bridging the gap between quantum continuous measurements and full counting statistics
Gabriel T. Landi, Michael J. Kewming, Mark T. Mitchison +1
Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form of a stochastic and correlated time series which conveys crucial information about the und…
The Impact of Imperfect Timekeeping on Quantum Control
Jake Xuereb, Florian Meier, Paul Erker +2
In order to unitarily evolve a quantum system, an agent requires knowledge of time, a parameter which no physical clock can ever perfectly characterise. In this letter, we study ho…
