Work extraction from microcanonical bath
Armen E. Allahverdyan, Karen V. Hovhannisyan
We determine the maximal work extractable via a cyclic Hamiltonian process from a positive-temperature () microcanonical state of a spin bath. The work is much smalle…

Thermodynamic limits of dynamic cooling
Armen E. Allahverdyan, Karen V. Hovhannisyan, Dominik Janzing +1
We study dynamic cooling, where an externally driven two-level system is cooled via reservoir, a quantum system with initial canonical equilibrium state. We obtain explicitly the m…
