Quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation and macroscopic superconducting coherence
Franco Mayo, Nahual Sobrino, Rosario Fazio +2
Stability and efficiency are mutually exclusive in a thermodynamic process, e.g. in a thermal machine. Any effort to reduce the fluctuations of a certain output quantity is necessa…

Purcell Enhancement and Suppression in Laser Cooling of Yb:YLF Nanocrystals in a Fabry-Pérot Microcavity
Lucas Mendicino, Franco Mayo, Christian Schmiegelow +1
We investigate the improvement of anti-Stokes laser cooling of a Yb:YLF nanocrystal in a Fabry-Pérot microcavity via the Purcell effect. Our analysis accounts for both the e…

Enhancing the efficiency of quantum measurement-based engines with entangling measurements
Franco Mayo, Augusto J. Roncaglia
We study the impact of entangling measurements on the efficiency of quantum measurement- based engines. We first show that for engines comprising many subsystems their efficiency c…
