Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work in the quantum regime
Xiu-Hua Zhao, H. T. Quan
Fluctuation theorems for work provide universal constraints on nonequilibrium fluctuations, yet their quantum generalizations often rely on externally prescribed classical driving…
Maxwell's Refrigerator: An Exactly Solvable Model
Dibyendu Mandal, H. T. Quan, Christopher Jarzynski
We describe a simple and solvable model of a device that -- like the "neat-fingered being" in Maxwell's famous thought experiment -- transfers energy from a cold system to a hot sy…
Space-time crystals of trapped ions
Tongcang Li, Zhe-Xuan Gong, Zhang-Qi Yin +5
Spontaneous symmetry breaking can lead to the formation of time crystals, as well as spatial crystals. Here we propose a space-time crystal of trapped ions and a method to realize…
Sensitive Chemical Compass Assisted by Quantum Criticality
C. Y. Cai, Qing Ai, H. T. Quan +1
The radical-pair-based chemical reaction could be used by birds for the navigation via the geomagnetic direction. An inherent physical mechanism is that the quantum coherent transi…
Testing quantum adiabaticity with quench echo
H. T. Quan, W. H. Zurek
Adiabaticity of quantum evolution is important in many settings. One example is the adiabatic quantum computation. Nevertheless, up to now, there is no effective method to test the…
