Thermalization induced by quantum scattering
Samuel L. Jacob, Massimiliano Esposito, Juan M. R. Parrondo +1
We use quantum scattering theory to study a fixed quantum system Y subject to collisions with massive particles X described by wave-packets. We derive the scattering map for system…

Charging assisted by thermalization
Karen V. Hovhannisyan, Felipe Barra, Alberto Imparato
A system in thermal equilibrium with a bath will generally be in an athermal state, if the system-bath coupling is strong. In some cases, it will be possible to extract work from t…
