Nonorthogonal-state erasure as the resource behind apparent second-law violations
Xinshu Xia, Hui Hui Qin, Yu-Han Ma +2
Perfect deterministic distinguishing of nonorthogonal quantum states is forbidden by the linear and unitary structure of quantum mechanics. It has often been assumed that, if such…
Finite-Time Thermodynamics Perspective into Nuclear Power Plant Heat Cycle
Fang-Ming Cui, Hui Dong
Nuclear power plants are prominent examples of heat-to-work conversion systems, and optimizing their thermodynamic performance offers significant potential for enhancing energy eff…
A Shortcut to Finite-time Memory Erasure
Geng Li, Hui Dong
To achieve fast computation, it is crucial to reset the memory to a desired state within a limited time. However, the inherent delay in the system's response often prevents reachin…
Geodesic path for the optimal nonequilibrium transition: Momentum-independent protocol
Geng Li, C. P. Sun, Hui Dong
Accelerating controlled thermodynamic processes requires an auxiliary Hamiltonian to steer the system into instantaneous equilibrium states. An extra energy cost is inevitably need…
Geodesic bound of the minimum energy expense to achieve membrane separation within finite time
Jin-Fu Chen, Ruo-Xun Zhai, C. P. Sun +1
To accomplish a task within limited operation time typically requires an excess expense of energy, whose minimum is of practical importance for the optimal design in various applic…
Experimental implementation of finite-time Carnot cycle
Ruo-Xun Zhai, Fang-Ming Cui, Yu-Han Ma +2
The Carnot cycle is a prototype of ideal heat engine to draw mechanical energy from the heat flux between two thermal baths with the maximum efficiency, dubbed as the Carnot effici…
