Nonequilibrium Dynamics with Finite-Time Repeated Interactions
Stella Seah, Stefan Nimmrichter, Valerio Scarani
We study quantum dynamics in the framework of repeated interactions between a system and a stream of identical probes. We present a coarse-grained master equation that captures the…
Violation of all the second laws of thermal operations by inhomogeneous reservoirs
Angeline Shu, Yu Cai, Stella Seah +2
In the resource theory of thermodynamics, the decrease of the free energy based on von Neumann entropy is not a sufficient condition to determine free evolution. Rather, a whole fa…
Quantum Rotor Engines
Stella Seah, Stefan Nimmrichter, Alexandre Roulet +1
This chapter presents autonomous quantum engines that generate work in the form of directed motion for a rotor. We first formulate a prototypical clock-driven model in a time-depen…
Refrigeration beyond weak internal coupling
Stella Seah, Stefan Nimmrichter, Valerio Scarani
We investigate the performance of a three-spin quantum absorption refrigerator using a refined open quantum system model valid across all inter-spin coupling strengths. It describe…
Work production of quantum rotor engines
Stella Seah, Stefan Nimmrichter, Valerio Scarani
We study the mechanical performance of quantum rotor heat engines in terms of common notions of work using two prototypical models: a mill driven by the heat flow from a hot to a c…
