Quantum corrections to the entropy and its application in the study of quantum Carnot engines
Tian Qiu, Zhaoyu Fei, Rui Pan +1
Entropy is one of the most basic concepts in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The most widely used definition of statistical mechanical entropy for a quantum system is int…
Path integral approach to the calculation of the characteristic function of work
Tian Qiu, Zhaoyu Fei, Rui Pan +1
Work statistics characterizes important features of a non-equilibrium thermodynamic process. But the calculation of the work statistics in an arbitrary non-equilibrium process is u…
Quantum-classical correspondence of work distributions for initial states with quantum coherence
Rui Pan, Zhaoyu Fei, Tian Qiu +2
The standard definition of quantum fluctuating work is based on the two-projective energy measurement, which however does not apply to systems with initial quantum coherence becaus…
Quantum work distributions associated with the dynamical Casimir effect
Zhaoyu Fei, Jing-Ning Zhang, Rui Pan +2
We study the joint probability distribution function of the work and the change of photon number of the nonequilibrium process of driving the electromagnetic (EM) field in a three-…
Quantifying the validity and breakdown of the overdamped approximation in stochastic thermodynamics: Theory and experiment
Rui Pan, Thai M. Hoang, Zhaoyu Fei +4
Stochastic thermodynamics provides an important framework to explore small physical systems where thermal fluctuations are inevitable. In the studies of stochastic thermodynamics,…
Experimental realization of Feynman's ratchet
Jaehoon Bang, Rui Pan, Thai M. Hoang +4
Feynman's ratchet is a microscopic machine in contact with two heat reservoirs, at temperatures and , that was proposed by Richard Feynman to illustrate the second law o…
Experimental test of the differential fluctuation theorem and a generalized Jarzynski equality for arbitrary initial states
Thai M. Hoang, Rui Pan, Jonghoon Ahn +3
Nonequilibrium processes of small systems such as molecular machines are ubiquitous in biology, chemistry and physics, but are often challenging to comprehend. In the past two deca…
