Thermalization and dephasing in collisional reservoirs
Jorge Tabanera-Bravo, Juan M. R. Parrondo, Massimiliano Esposito +1
We introduce a wide class of quantum maps that arise in collisional reservoirs and are able to thermalize a system if they operate in conjunction with an additional dephasing mecha…
Stability of long-sustained oscillations induced by electron tunneling
Jorge Tabanera-Bravo, Florian Vigneau, Juliette Monsel +9
Self-oscillations are the result of an efficient mechanism generating periodic motion from a constant power source. In quantum devices, these oscillations may arise due to the inte…
Dissipation reduction and information-to-measurement conversion in DNA pulling experiments with feedback protocols
Marc Rico-Pasto, Regina K. Schmitt, Marco Ribezzi-Crivellari +4
Information-to-energy conversion with feedback measurement stands as one of the most intriguing aspects of the thermodynamics of information in the nanoscale. To date, experiments…
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…
