Thermodynamic Networks: Harnessing Non-Equilibrium Steady States for Computation
Patryk Lipka-Bartosik, Gianmichele Blasi, Javier Lalueza Puértolas +3
We introduce thermodynamic networks, a general framework for autonomous, physics-based computation using non-equilibrium steady states. These networks are modeled as a collection o…
Exact requirements for battery-assisted qubit gates
Riccardo Castellano, Vasco Cavina, Martà Perarnau-Llobet +2
We consider the implementation of a unitary gate on a qubit system S via a global energy-preserving operation acting on S and an auxiliary system B that can be seen as a battery. W…
Quantum sensing of a quantum field
Ricard Ravell RodrÃguez, Martà Perarnau-Llobet, Pavel Sekatski
Estimating a classical parameter encoded in the Hamiltonian of a quantum probe is a fundamental and well-understood task in quantum metrology. A textbook example is the estimation…
Roadmap on Quantum Thermodynamics
Steve Campbell, Irene D'Amico, Mario A. Ciampini +66
The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicabilit…
Energy-Time-Accuracy Tradeoffs in Thermodynamic Computing
Alberto Rolandi, Paolo Abiuso, Patryk Lipka-Bartosik +3
In the paradigm of thermodynamic computing, instead of behaving deterministically, hardware undergoes a stochastic process in order to sample from a distribution of interest. While…
Rapid optimal work extraction from a quantum-dot information engine
Kushagra Aggarwal, Alberto Rolandi, Yikai Yang +8
The conversion of thermal energy into work is usually more efficient in the slow-driving regime, where the power output is vanishingly small. Efficient work extraction for fast dri…
