Out-of-equilibrium operation of a quantum heat engine: The cost of thermal coupling control
Michael Wiedmann, Jürgen T. Stockburger, Joachim Ankerhold
Real quantum heat engines lack the separation of time and length scales that is characteristic for classical engines. They must be understood as open quantum systems in non-equilib…

Rectification of heat currents across nonlinear quantum chains: A versatile approach beyond weak thermal contact
Thomas Motz, Michael Wiedmann, Jürgen T. Stockburger +1
Within the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics the issues of heat transfer and heat rectification are basic ingredients for the understanding and design of heat engines or ref…
