Efficiency of a thermodynamic motor at maximum power
M. Moreau, B. Gaveau, L. S. Schulman
Several recent theories address the efficiency of a macroscopic thermodynamic motor at maximum power and question the so-called "Curzon-Ahlborn (CA) efficiency." Considering the en…
Clusters from higher order correlations
L. S. Schulman
Given a set of variables and the correlations among them, we develop a method for finding clustering among the variables. The method takes advantage of information implicit in high…
Generalized Clausius relation and power dissipation in non equilibrium stochastic systems
B. Gaveau, M. Moreau, L. S. Schulman
We extend certain basic and general concepts of thermodynamics to discrete Markov systems exchanging work and heat with reservoirs. In this framework we show that the celebrated Cl…
Mean Field Spin Glass in the Observable Representation
L. S. Schulman
The state space for the -spin mean field (SK) spin glass--nominally an -cube--is embedded in a low dimensional continuous space in such a way that metastable and stable phase…
Ratcheting up energy by means of measurement
L. S. Schulman, B. Gaveau
The destruction of quantum coherence can pump energy into a system. For our examples this is paradoxical since the destroyed correlations are ordinarily considered negligible. Math…
Limits of fractality: Zeno boxes and relativistic particles
L. S. Schulman
Physical fractals invariably have upper and lower limits for their fractal structure. Berry has shown that a particle sharply confined to a box has a wave function that is fractal…
