Carnot Meets Quantum Information: A Thermal Machine Driven by Non-orthogonal State Discrimination

Tan-Ji Zhou, Yun-Qian Lin, Yu-Han Ma +1

While the impossibility of perfectly identifying non-orthogonal states is a cornerstone of quantum information science, they can nevertheless be distinguished with a finite error p…

Berry-Phase-Induced Chirality in Thermodynamics

Zhaoyu Fei, Yu-Han Ma

Geometric phases are foundational to isolated quantum systems, yet their thermodynamic role in open systems remains unrevealed Developing a dissipative adiabatic perturbation expan…

Finite-Time Thermodynamics of an Autonomous Information Machine

Wanyan Chen, Miao Chen, Yu-Han Ma

While externally driven information engines are well understood, the thermodynamic constraints of their autonomous counterparts remain an open question. Here, we investigate the fi…

Thermodynamic Geometry of Relaxation

Hao Wang, Li Zhao, Shuai Deng +1

While the geometry of equilibrium states and driven non-equilibrium processes is clearly understood, a geometric description for relaxation towards equilibrium is still lacking. He…

Finite-Time Optimization of Quantum Szilard heat engine

Tan-Ji Zhou, Yu-Han Ma, C. P. Sun

We propose a finite-time quantum Szilard engine (QSE) with a quantum particle with spin as the working substance (WS) to accelerate the operation of information engines. We introdu…

Works with quantum resource of coherence

Yu-Han Ma, C. L. Liu, C. P. Sun

We study the modification of the second law of thermodynamics for a quantum system interacting with a reservoir regarding quantum coherence. The whole system is isolated so that ne…
