Quantifying the quantum heat contribution from a driven superconducting circuit
Cyril Elouard, George Thomas, Olivier Maillet +2
Unveiling the impact in thermodynamics of the phenomena specific to quantum mechanics is a crucial step to identify fundamental costs for quantum operations and quantum advantages…

Supremacy of incoherent sudden cycles
Jukka P. Pekola, Bayan Karimi, George Thomas +1
We investigate theoretically a refrigerator based on a two-level system (TLS) coupled alternately to two different heat baths. Modulation of the coupling is achieved by tuning the…

Quantum heat engine based on level degeneracy
George Thomas, Debmalya Das, Sibasish Ghosh
We study a quantum Stirling cycle which extracts work using quantized energy levels of a potential well. The work and the efficiency of the engine depend on the length of the poten…
