Quantum Coherence as a Thermodynamic Resource Beyond the Classical Uncertainty Bound
Shanhe Su, Cong Fu, Ousi Pan +3
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) establish a fundamental trade-off between current precision and entropy production in nonequilibrium systems, yet the role of genuine qua…

Unlocking inaccessible performance of the quantum refrigerator with catalysts
Cong Fu, Ousi Pan, Zhiqiang Fan +4
Quantum thermal machines offer promising platforms for exploring the fundamental limits of thermodynamics at the microscopic scale. The previous study demonstrated that the incorpo…

Geometric Bound for Trade-off Relation in Quantum Tricycle
Shihao Xia, Jingyi Chen, Jincan Chen +1
We establish a finite-time quantum tricycle driven by an external field and investigate its thermodynamic performance in the slow-driving regime. By developing a perturbative expan…
