Local approach to entropy production in the nonequilibrium dynamics of open quantum systems
Irene Ada Picatoste, Alessandra Colla, Heinz-Peter Breuer
We discuss fundamental features of the local expression for the entropy production rate of the nonequilibrium quantum dynamics of open systems and its relations to memory effects a…
Local and global approaches to the thermodynamics of pure decoherence processes in open quantum systems
Irene Ada Picatoste, Alessandra Colla, Heinz-Peter Breuer
We study the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of pure decoherence processes in open quantum systems coupled to a thermal reservoir. We review various definitions of central quantities…
All-thermal reversal of heat currents using qutrits
Irene Ada Picatoste, Rafael Sánchez
Few-level systems coupled to thermal baths provide useful models for quantum thermodynamics and to understand the role of heat currents in quantum information settings. Useful oper…
Dynamically Emergent Quantum Thermodynamics: Non-Markovian Otto Cycle
Irene Ada Picatoste, Alessandra Colla, Heinz-Peter Breuer
Employing a recently developed approach to dynamically emergent quantum thermodynamics, we revisit the thermodynamic behavior of the quantum Otto cycle with a focus on memory effec…
