Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of collapse models in the strongly non-Gaussian regime
Pedro B. Melo, Pedro V. Paraguassú, Simone Artini +3
Standard objective collapse models offer a unified approach to the quantum measurement problem but predict an unphysical, indefinite increase in the energy of the system. The dissi…
Broken Detailed Balance and Entropy Production in CPTP Quantum Brownian Motion
Simone Artini, Gabriele Lo Monaco, Alberto Imparato +2
We rigorously analyze the non-equilibrium thermodynamic behavior of various formulations of quantum Brownian motion (QBM) using the framework of stochastic thermodynamics. While th…
Roadmap on Quantum Thermodynamics
Steve Campbell, Irene D'Amico, Mario A. Ciampini +66
The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicabilit…
Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of gravitational objective-collapse models
Simone Artini, Gabriele Lo Monaco, Sandro Donadi +1
We investigate the entropy production in the Diósi-Penrose (DP) model, one of the most extensively studied gravity-related collapse mechanisms, and one of its dissipative extensio…
Quantum gravitational decoherence of a mechanical oscillator from spacetime fluctuations
Sandro Donadi, Matteo Fadel
We consider the scenario of a fluctuating spacetime due to a deformed commutation relation with a fluctuating deformation parameter, or to a fluctuating metric tensor. By computing…
