Bosonic Working Media in a Frustrated Rhombi Chain: Otto and Stirling Cycles from Flat Bands, Caging, and Flux Control
Francisco J. Peña, Rafael García-Zamora, Gabriele De Chiara +5
We demonstrate that flat-band engineering provides a direct route to control and optimize the thermodynamic performance of quantum heat engines. We consider noninteracting bosons o…
Enhanced Efficiency at Maximum Power in a Fock-Darwin Model Quantum Dot Engine
Francisco J. Peña, Nathan M. Myers, Daniel Órdenes +2
We study the performance of an endoreversible magnetic Otto cycle with a working substance composed of a single quantum dot described using the well-known Fock-Darwin model. We fin…
Quantum simulation costs for Suzuki-Trotter decomposition of quantum many-body lattice models
Nathan M. Myers, Ryan Scott, Kwon Park +1
Quantum computers offer the potential to efficiently simulate the dynamics of quantum systems, a task whose difficulty scales exponentially with system size on classical devices. T…
Thermodynamics of quantum information in noisy polarizers
Maxwell Aifer, Nathan Myers, Sebastian Deffner
Among the emerging technologies with prophesied quantum advantage, quantum communications has already led to fascinating demonstrations -- including quantum teleportation to and fr…
Multilayer Graphene as an Endoreversible Otto Engine
Nathan M Myers, Francisco J. Peña, Natalia Cortés +1
Graphene is perhaps the most prominent "Dirac material," a class of systems whose electronic structure gives rise to charge carriers that behave as relativistic fermions. In multil…
Quantum thermodynamic devices: from theoretical proposals to experimental reality
Nathan M. Myers, Obinna Abah, Sebastian Deffner
Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries the description of engines, refrigerators…
Boosting engine performance with Bose-Einstein condensation
Nathan M. Myers, Francisco J. Peña, Oscar Negrete +3
At low-temperatures a gas of bosons will undergo a phase transition into a quantum state of matter known as a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which a large fraction of the parti…
Quantum Otto engines at relativistic energies
Nathan M. Myers, Obinna Abah, Sebastian Deffner
Relativistic quantum systems exhibit unique features not present at lower energies, such as the existence of both particles and antiparticles, and restrictions placed on the system…
Quantum Heat Engines with Singular Interactions
Nathan M Myers, Jacob McCready, Sebastian Deffner
By harnessing quantum phenomena, quantum devices have the potential to outperform their classical counterparts. Previous work has shown that a bosonic working medium can yield bett…
Thermodynamics of Statistical Anyons
Nathan M. Myers, Sebastian Deffner
In low-dimensional systems, indistinguishable particles can display statistics that interpolate between bosons and fermions. Signatures of these "anyons" have been detected in two-…
Bosons Outperform Fermions -- The Thermodynamic Advantage of Symmetry
Nathan M. Myers, Sebastian Deffner
We examine a quantum Otto engine with a harmonic working medium consisting of two particles to explore the use of wave function symmetry as an accessible resource. It is shown that…
