Average Equilibration Time for Gaussian Unitary Ensemble Hamiltonians
Emanuel Schwarzhans, Alessandro Candeloro, Felix C. Binder +2
Understanding equilibration times in closed quantum systems is essential for characterising their approach to equilibrium. Chaotic many-body systems are paradigmatic in this contex…
Digitally Optimized Initializations for Fast Thermodynamic Computing
Mattia Moroder, Felix C. Binder, John Goold
Thermodynamic computing harnesses the relaxation dynamics of physical systems to perform matrix operations. A key limitation of such approaches is the often long thermalization tim…
Thermodynamic Constraints on the Emergence of Intersubjectivity in Quantum Systems
Alessandro Candeloro, Tiago Debarba, Felix C. Binder
Ideal quantum measurement requires divergent thermodynamic resources. This is a consequence of the third law of thermodynamics, which prohibits the preparation of the measurement p…
Thermodynamic criteria for signaling in quantum channels
Yutong Luo, Simon Milz, Felix C. Binder
Signaling quantum channels are fundamental to quantum communication, enabling the transfer of information from input to output states. In contrast, thermalisation erases informatio…
Memory-minimal quantum generation of stochastic processes: spectral invariants of quantum hidden Markov models
Magdalini Zonnios, Alec Boyd, Felix C. Binder
Stochastic processes abound in nature and accurately modeling them is essential across the quantitative sciences. They can be described by hidden Markov models (HMMs) or by their q…
Anomalous discharging of quantum batteries: the ergotropic Mpemba effect
Ivan Medina, Oisín Culhane, Felix C. Binder +2
Anomalous thermal relaxation is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. An emblematic example of this is the Mpemba effect, where an initially ``hot'' system cools fast…
