Decoherence in a fermion environment: Non-Markovianity and Orthogonality Catastrophe

F. Plastina, A. Sindona, J. Goold +2

We analyze the non-Markovian character of the dynamics of an open two-level atom interacting with a gas of ultra-cold fermions. In particular, we discuss the connection between the…

Comment on "Quantum Szilard Engine"

Martin Plesch, Oscar Dahlsten, John Goold +1

In a recently published letter [S. W. Kim, T. Sagawa, S. DeLiberato, and M. Ueda, PRL 106, 070401 (2011)] the influence of particle statistics on extractable work in the Szilard en…

Experimental reconstruction of work distribution and verification of fluctuation relations at the full quantum level

Tiago Batalhão, Alexandre M. Souza, Laura Mazzola +6

Research on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems has so far produced important statements on the thermodynamics of small systems undergoing quantum mechanical evoluti…

Work and Quantum Phase Transitions: Is there Quantum Latency?

E. Mascarenhas, H. Braganca, R. Dorner +4

We study the physics of quantum phase transitions from the perspective of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. For first order quantum phase transitions, we find that the average work d…

More bang for your buck: Towards super-adiabatic quantum engines

A. del Campo, J. Goold, M. Paternostro

The reversible nature of thermodynamical cycles is an idealisation based on the assumption of perfect quasi-static dynamics. As a consequence of this assumption, ideal engines oper…

Extracting quantum work statistics and fluctuation theorems by single qubit interferometry

R. Dorner, S. R. Clark, L. Heaney +3

We propose an experimental scheme to verify the quantum non-equilibrium fluctuation relations using current technology. Specifically, we show that the characteristic function of th…
