Dynamical error bounds for continuum discretisation via Gauss quadrature rules, -- a Lieb-Robinson bound approach
Mischa P. Woods, Martin B. Plenio
Instances of discrete quantum systems coupled to a continuum of oscillators are ubiquitous in physics. Often the continua are approximated by a discrete set of modes. We derive ana…
Work and reversibility in quantum thermodynamics
Álvaro M. Alhambra, Stephanie Wehner, Mark M. Wilde +1
It is a central question in quantum thermodynamics to determine how irreversible is a process that transforms an initial state to a final state , and whether such irreversib…
The maximum efficiency of nano heat engines depends on more than temperature
Mischa P. Woods, Nelly Ng, Stephanie Wehner
Sadi Carnot's theorem regarding the maximum efficiency of heat engines is considered to be of fundamental importance in thermodynamics. This theorem famously states that the maximu…
Simulating Bosonic Baths with Error Bars
Mischa P. Woods, M. Cramer, M. B. Plenio
We derive rigorous truncation-error bounds for the spin-boson model and its generalizations to arbitrary quantum systems interacting with bosonic baths. For the numerical simulatio…
Coherence-assisted single-shot cooling by quantum absorption refrigerators
Mark T. Mitchison, Mischa P. Woods, Javier Prior +1
The extension of thermodynamics into the quantum regime has received much attention in recent years. A primary objective of current research is to find thermodynamic tasks which ca…
