Optimal Work Extraction from Finite-Time Closed Quantum Dynamics
Shoki Sugimoto, Takahiro Sagawa, Ryusuke Hamazaki
Extracting useful work from quantum systems is a fundamental problem in quantum thermodynamics. In scenarios where rapid protocols are desired -- whether due to practical constrain…
A levitated nano-accelerometer sensitized by quantum quench
M. Kamba, S. Otabe, K. Funo +2
We realize a nanoscale accelerometer exploiting the nonequilibrium dynamics of a nanoparticle near the quantum ground state. We explore the dynamics after quenching the trapping po…
Adversarial Thermodynamics
Maite Arcos, Philippe Faist, Takahiro Sagawa +1
In thermodynamics, an agent's ability to extract work is fundamentally constrained by their environment. Traditional frameworks struggle to capture how strategic decision-making un…
Thermodynamic approach to quantum cooling limit of continuous Gaussian feedback
Kousuke Kumasaki, Toshihiro Yada, Ken Funo +1
Feedback cooling plays a critical role in stabilizing quantum systems and achieving low temperatures, where a key question is to determine the fundamental thermodynamic limits on c…
Thermodynamic speed limit for non-adiabatic work and its classical-quantum decomposition
Aoi Yamauchi, Rihito Nagase, Kaixin Li +2
Understanding the fundamental constraint on work far beyond the adiabatic regime is crucial to investigating fast and efficient energy extraction or consumption processes. In this…
