Entanglement generation in quantum thermal machines
Milton Aguilar, Nahuel Freitas, Juan Pablo Paz
We show that in a linear quantum machine, a driven quantum system that evolves while coupled with thermal reservoirs, entanglement between the reservoir modes is unavoidably genera…
Heat transport in overdamped quantum systems
Sadeq S. Kadijani, Thomas L. Schmidt, Massimiliano Esposito +1
We obtain an analytical expression for the heat current between two overdamped quantum oscillators interacting with local thermal baths at different temperatures. The total heat cu…
Work statistics across a quantum phase transition
Zhaoyu Fei, Nahuel Freitas, Vasco Cavina +2
We investigate the statistics of the work performed during a quench across a quantum phase transition using the adiabatic perturbation theory. It is shown that all the cumulants of…
Cooling to absolute zero: The unattainability principle
Nahuel Freitas, Rodrigo Gallego, Lluís Masanes +1
The unattainability principle (UP) is an operational formulation of the third law of thermodynamics stating the impossibility to bring a system to its ground state in finite time.…
State dependent motional squeezing of a trapped ion: new method and applications
Martín Drechsler, María Belén Farías Nahuel Freitas, Christian Tomás Schmiegelow +1
We show that the motion of a cold trapped ion can be squeezed by modulating the intensity of a phase-stable optical lattice placed inside the trap. As this method is reversible and…
Stochastic and Quantum Thermodynamics of Driven RLC Networks
Nahuel Freitas, Jean-Charles Delvenne, Massimiliano Esposito
We develop a general stochastic thermodynamics of RLC electrical networks built on top of a graph-theoretical representation of the dynamics commonly used by engineers. The network…
