Correlations, operations and the second law of thermodynamics
Sai Vinjanampathy, Kavan Modi
Completely positive trace preserving maps are essential for the formulation of the second law of thermodynamics. The dynamics of quantum systems, correlated with their environments…
Characterizing quantum dynamics with initial system-environment correlations
Martin Ringbauer, Christopher J. Wood, Kavan Modi +3
We fully characterize the reduced dynamics of an open quantum system initially correlated with its environment. Using a photonic qubit coupled to a simulated environment we tomogra…
Quantum thermodynamics for a model of an expanding universe
Nana Liu, John Goold, Ivette Fuentes +3
We investigate the thermodynamical properties of quantum fields in curved spacetime. Our approach is to consider quantum fields in curved spacetime as a quantum system undergoing a…
Energetic fluctuations in an open quantum process
John Goold, Kavan Modi
Relations similar to work and exchange fluctuations have been recently derived for open systems dynamically evolving in the presence of an ancilla. Extending these relations and co…
Quantum thermodynamics of general quantum processes
Felix C. Binder, Sai Vinjanampathy, Kavan Modi +1
Accurately describing work extraction from a quantum system is a central objective for the extension of thermodynamics to individual quantum systems. The concepts of work and heat…
Entropy bounds for quantum processes with initial correlations
Sai Vinjanampathy, Kavan Modi
Quantum technology is progressing towards fast quantum control over systems interacting with small environments. Hence such technologies are operating in a regime where the environ…
