Universal energy fluctuations in inelastic scattering processes

Samuel L. Jacob, John Goold, Gabriel T. Landi +1

Quantum scattering is used ubiquitously in both experimental and theoretical physics across a wide range of disciplines, from high-energy physics to mesoscopic physics. In this wor…

Two-point measurement energy statistics from particle scattering

Samuel L. Jacob, Gabriel T. Landi, Massimiliano Esposito +1

We show that the energy statistics resulting from a two-point measurement of an isolated quantum system subject to a time-dependent driving protocol can be probed by subjecting the…

Quantum collisional thermostats

Jorge Tabanera, Ines Luque, Samuel L. Jacob +3

Collisional reservoirs are becoming a major tool for modelling open quantum systems. In their simplest implementation, an external agent switches on, for a given time, the interact…

Quantum scattering as a work source

Samuel L. Jacob, Massimiliano Esposito, Juan M. R. Parrondo +1

We consider a collision between a moving particle and a fixed system, each having internal degrees of freedom. We identify the regime where the motion of the particle acts as a wor…

Thermalization induced by quantum scattering

Samuel L. Jacob, Massimiliano Esposito, Juan M. R. Parrondo +1

We use quantum scattering theory to study a fixed quantum system Y subject to collisions with massive particles X described by wave-packets. We derive the scattering map for system…
