Assessing the non-equilibrium thermodynamics in a quenched quantum many-body system via single projective measurements
L. Fusco, S. Pigeon, T. J. G. Apollaro +6
We analyse the nature of the statistics of the work done on or by a quantum many-body system brought out of equilibrium. We show that, for the sudden quench and for an initial stat…
Out of equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum harmonic chains
A. Carlisle, L. Mazzola, M. Campisi +7
The thermodynamic implications for the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems are to date largely unexplored, especially for quantum many-body systems. In this paper we inv…
Detecting the work statistics through Ramsey-like interferometry
Laura Mazzola, Gabriele De Chiara, Mauro Paternostro
Out-of-equilibrium statistical mechanics is attracting considerable interest due to the recent advances in the control and manipulations of systems at the quantum level. Recently,…

Tiago Batalhão, Alexandre M. Souza, Laura Mazzola +6
Research on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems has so far produced important statements on the thermodynamics of small systems undergoing quantum mechanical evoluti…
Interaction-induced correlations and non-Markovianity of quantum dynamics
Andrea Smirne, Laura Mazzola, Mauro Paternostro +1
We investigate the conditions under which the trace distance between two different states of a given open system increases in time due to the interaction with an environment, there…

The simulation of quantum processes is a key goal for the grand programme aiming at grounding quantum technologies as the way to explore complex phenomena that are inaccessible thr…
Unification of witnessing initial system-environment correlations and witnessing non-Markovianity
César A. Rodríguez-Rosario, Kavan Modi, Laura Mazzola +1
We show the connection between a witness that detects dynamical maps with initial system-environment correlations and a witness that detects non-Markovian open quantum systems. Our…

We consider the distribution of entanglement from a multi-mode optical driving source to a network of remote and independent optomechanical systems. By focusing on the tripartite c…
Critical assessment of two-qubit post-Markovian master equations

A post-Markovian master equation has been recently proposed as a tool to describe the evolution of a system coupled to a memory-keeping environment [A. Shabani and D. A. Lidar, Phy…
