Approaching Resource-Theoretic Optimal Performance with Structured Environments
Lea Lautenbacher, Giovanni Spaventa, Susana F. Huelga +1
Resource-theoretic approaches to thermodynamics provide powerful, model-independent bounds on the efficiency of physical processes, because they do not rely on microscopic details…
Gaussian time-translation covariant operations: structure, implementation, and thermodynamics
Xueyuan Hu, Lea Lautenbacher, Giovanni Spaventa +3
Time-translation symmetry strongly constrains physical dynamics, yet systematic characterization for continuous-variable systems lags behind its discrete-variable counterpart. We c…
Correlated dynamics as a resource in molecular switches
Daniel Siciliano, Rudi B. P. Pietsch, Giovanni Spaventa +2
Photoisomerization, a photochemical process underlying many biological mechanisms, has been modeled recently within the quantum resource theory of thermodynamics. This approach has…
Quantum resource-theoretical analysis of the role of vibrational structure in photoisomerization
Siddharth Tiwary, Giovanni Spaventa, Susana F. Huelga +1
Thermodynamical systems at the nanoscale, such as single molecules interacting with highly structured vibrational environments, typically undergo non-equilibrium physical processes…
Physically constrained quantum clock-driven dynamics
Lea Lautenbacher, Giovanni Spaventa, Dario Cilluffo +2
Thermal machines are physical systems designed to convert thermal energy into practical work through cyclic state transformations. A key component in such a machine is a clock-equi…
On tests of the quantum nature of gravitational interactions in presence of non-linear corrections to quantum mechanics
Giovanni Spaventa, Ludovico Lami, Martin B. Plenio
When two particles interact primarily through gravity and follow the laws of quantum mechanics, the generation of entanglement is considered a hallmark of the quantum nature of the…
Nature and origin of the operators entering the master equation of an open quantum system
Giovanni Spaventa, Paola Verrucchi
By exploiting the peculiarities of a recently introduced formalism for describing open quantum systems (the Parametric Representation with Environmental Coherent States) we derive…
Capacity of non-Markovianity to boost the efficiency of molecular switches
Giovanni Spaventa, Susana F. Huelga, Martin B. Plenio
Quantum resource theory formulations of thermodynamics offer a versatile tool for the study of fundamental limitations to the efficiency of physical processes, independently of the…
