Quantum fluctuation relations in first-detection processes
A. Imparato
We derive two quantum fluctuation relations for systems undergoing repeated projective measurements. These fluctuation relations characterize the work that can be extracted from a…
First passage time distribution in underdamped harmonic oscillators
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +2
We derive the distribution of the first passage time for the position of an underdamped harmonic oscillator to overcome a threshold . As the distribution…
First passage time for an underdamped harmonic oscillator and application to the power of an information engine
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +2
The distribution of the first passage time for the position to overcome a threshold is calculated in an underdamped harmonic oscillator. The proof combines sever…
Information engine fueled by first-passage times
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +3
Using a mechanical cantilever submitted to electrostatic feedback control, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of an information engine that extracts work from thermal fluc…
