Precision of an autonomous demon exploiting nonthermal resources and information
Juliette Monsel, Matteo Acciai, Didrik Palmqvist +3
Quantum-dot systems serve as nanoscale heat engines exploiting thermal fluctuations to perform a useful task. Here, we investigate a multi-terminal triple-dot system, operating as…
Collective charge measurement in quantum dot chains: controlling barrier occupation and tunneling current
Alok Nath Singh, Rafael Sánchez, Andrew N. Jordan
We investigate nonequilibrium transport in a triple-quantum-dot (TQD) system, where the central dot acts as a discrete tunnel barrier, subject to continuous monitoring by a quantum…
Noninvasive and nonadiabatic quantum Maxwell demon
Lucas Trigal, Rafael Sánchez
A quantum mechanical Maxwell demon is proposed in a quantum dot setting. The demon avoids continuous-measurement induced decoherence by exploiting an undetailed charge detector. 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…
Capturing an Electron in the Virtual State
Alok Nath Singh, Bibek Bhandari, Rafael Sánchez +1
We address a foundational question in quantum mechanics: Can a particle be directly found in a classically forbidden virtual state? We instantiate this conceptual question by inves…
Quantum thermocouples: nonlocal conversion and control of heat in nanostructures
José Balduque, Rafael Sánchez
Nanoscale conductors are interesting for thermoelectrics because of their particular spectral features connecting separated heat and particle currents. Multiterminal devices in the…
