Witnessing the Quantum Mpemba Effect with a Single Observable
J. M. Z. Choquehuanca, P. A. C. Obando, M. S. Sarandy +1
The Mpemba effect, in which a system farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than one closer to it, defies the intuition of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Here, we introduce…

Ergotropy-Based Quantum Thermodynamics
J. M. Z. Choquehuanca, P. A. C. Obando, M. S. Sarandy +1
We introduce an ergotropy-based formulation of quantum thermodynamics, which provides a strong connection between average heat and von Neumann entropy. By adopting this formulation…
