Thermalization in Spatially Extended Open Quantum Systems: Local versus Global Markovian Evolution
Jorge Tabanera-Bravo, Massimiliano Esposito, Felipe Barra +1
We investigate the dynamics of a qubit chain locally coupled to a thermal reservoir, modeled through repeated collisions with particles drawn from a heat bath. Under suitable condi…
Sources of nonlinearity in the response of a driven nano-electromechanical resonator
Sofia Sevitz, Kushagra Aggarwal, Jorge Tabanera-Bravo +9
Nanoelectromechanical resonators provide an ideal platform for investigating the interplay between electron transport and nonlinear mechanical motion. Externally driven suspended c…
Coupling a single spin to high-frequency motion
Federico Fedele, Federico Cerisola, Lea Bresque +12
Coupling a single spin to high-frequency mechanical motion is a fundamental bottleneck of applications such as quantum sensing, intermediate and long-distance spin-spin coupling, a…
Information flows in nanomachines
Juan Parrondo, Jorge Tabanera-Bravo, Federico Fedele +1
Nanomachines are often interpreted as autonomous Maxwell's demons or information engines. This interpretation is appealing from a conceptual viewpoint but sometimes lacks a rigorou…
