Efficient protocol for the Markovian Mpemba effect in -level systems

David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

The Mpemba effect is an anomalous phenomenon in which the time to thermalize does not depend monotonically on the distance from equilibrium, allowing systems with an initially larg…

Heat Transfer and Torque in Enclosing Cylindrical Configurations with Nonreciprocal Materials

Dhruv Shah, Kiryl Asheichyk, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky +3

Electromagnetic fluctuations can transfer not only energy but also angular momentum, leading to forces, torques, heat currents, and friction in out-of-equilibrium setups. In enclos…

Restoring heat and particle flow in strongly coupled non-equilibrium devices

Noa Ludwin, Ohad Cremerman, Milan Šindelka +1

Under non-equilibrium conditions, energy/particle currents flow through a quantum system coupled to multiple baths. Although the fluxes increase in the weak coupling regime as the…

Probing Non-equilibrium baths: Frequency-Resolved Thermometry and Quantum Heat Current Turnover

Akhil Bhartiya, Tobias Kramer, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

Quantum heat transport for non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) exhibits a characteristic turnover effect, where the heat current reaches a maximum and subsequently declines as syst…

A Contactless Heat Engine Driven by Nonreciprocal Fluctuation-Induced Torques

Dhruv Shah, Kiryl Asheichyk, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky +3

We describe a contactless heat engine in which quantum and thermal electromagnetic fluctuations act as the working medium. The setup consists of two concentric cylinders held at di…

Necessary conditions for the Markovian Mpemba effect

Ido Avitan, Roee Factor, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

The Mpemba effect is a thermodynamic anomaly in which a system farther away in temperature from equilibrium thermalizes before one that is initially closer. The effect has been exp…

Steady state of periodically driven quantum systems

Milan Šindelka, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

Periodic driving is used to steer physical systems to unique stationary states or nonequilibrium steady states (NESS), producing enhanced properties inaccessible to non-driven syst…

Thermalization without detailed balance: population oscillations in the absence of coherences

Shay Blum, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky

Open quantum systems that comply with the master equation and detailed balance decay in a non-oscillatory manner to thermal equilibrium. Beyond the weak coupling limit, systems tha…

On thermodynamic inconsistencies in several photosynthetic and solar cell models and how to fix them

David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Alán Aspuru-Guzik

We analyze standard theoretical models of solar energy conversion developed to study solar cells and photosynthetic systems. We show that the assumption that the energy transfer to…

Power enhancement of heat engines via correlated thermalization in multilevel systems

David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Wolfgang Niedenzu, Paul Brumer +1

We analyze a heat machine based on a periodically-driven quantum system permanently coupled to hot and cold baths. It is shown that the maximal power output of a degenerate -typ…
