Geometric foundations of thermodynamics in the quantum regime
Álvaro Tejero, Martín de la Rosa
In this work, we present a geometrical formulation of quantum thermodynamics based on contact geometry and principal fiber bundles. The quantum thermodynamic state space is modeled…
Squeezing light to get nonclassical work in quantum engines
A. Tejero, D. Manzano, P. I. Hurtado
Light can be squeezed by reducing the quantum uncertainty of the electric field for some phases. We show how to use this purely quantum effect to extract net mechanical work from r…
Asymmetries of thermal processes in open quantum systems
Álvaro Tejero, Rafael Sánchez, Laiachi El Kaoutit +2
An intriguing phenomenon in non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is the asymmetry of thermal processes. Relaxation to thermal equilibrium is the most important dissipative proces…
An atom-doped photon engine: Extracting mechanical work from a quantum system via radiation pressure
Álvaro Tejero, Daniel Manzano, Pablo I. Hurtado
The possibility of efficiently converting heat into work at the microscale has triggered an intense research effort to understand quantum heat engines, driven by the hope of quantu…
Measuring the capacitor charge and discharge with a LED and a smartphone
Rubén Hurtado-Gutiérrez, Álvaro Tejero
In this article, we present a simple, inexpensive, and effective method for measuring the capacitor charge and discharge processes using a light-emitting diode (LED) and the light…
