Hybrid Thermal Machines: Generalized Thermodynamic Resources for Multitasking
Gonzalo Manzano, Rafael Sánchez, Ralph Silva +4
Thermal machines perform useful tasks--such as producing work, cooling, or heating--by exchanging energy, and possibly additional conserved quantities such as particles, with reser…
Quantum teleportation of single-electron states
Edvin Olofsson, Peter Samuelsson, Nicolas Brunner +1
We consider a scheme for on-demand teleportation of a dual-rail electron qubit state, based on single-electron sources and detectors. The scheme has a maximal efficiency of 25%, wh…
Tight bound on finite-resolution quantum thermometry at low temperatures
Mathias R. Jørgensen, Patrick P. Potts, Matteo G. A. Paris +1
Precise thermometry is of wide importance in science and technology in general and in quantum systems in particular. Here, we investigate fundamental precision limits for thermomet…
Maxwell's demon in a double quantum dot with continuous charge detection
Björn Annby-Andersson, Peter Samuelsson, Ville F. Maisi +1
Converting information into work has during the last decade gained renewed interest as it gives insight into the relation between information theory and thermodynamics. Here we the…
Introduction to Quantum Thermodynamics (Lecture Notes)
Patrick P. Potts
The theory of quantum thermodynamics investigates how the concepts of heat, work, and temperature can be carried over to the quantum realm, where fluctuations and randomness are fu…
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations including measurement and feedback
Patrick P. Potts, Peter Samuelsson
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations quantify how the signal-to-noise ratio of a given observable is constrained by dissipation. Fluctuation relations generalize the second law of t…
