Enhanced performance of sudden-quench quantum Otto cycles via multi-parameter control
Raymon S. Watson, Karen V. Kheruntsyan
Advances in experimental control of interacting quantum many-body systems with multiple tunable parameters-such as ultracold atomic gases and trapped ions-are driving rapid progres…
Quantum thermodynamics of integrable and near-integrable atomic systems
Raymon S. Watson
In this thesis, we explore various aspects of equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamics for ultracold atomic gases, with a focus on the experimentally realisable one-dimensiona…
Maxwell relation between entropy and atom-atom pair correlation
Raymon S. Watson, Caleb Coleman, Karen V. Kheruntsyan
For many-particle systems with short-range interactions the local (same point) particle-particle pair correlation function represents a thermodynamic quantity that can be calculate…
A finite-time quantum Otto engine with tunnel coupled one-dimensional Bose gases
V. V. Nautiyal, R. S. Watson, K. V. Kheruntsyan
We undertake a theoretical study of a finite-time quantum Otto engine cycle driven by inter-particle interactions in a weakly interacting one-dimensional Bose gas in the quasiconde…
