Concepts of work in autonomous quantum heat engines
Wolfgang Niedenzu, Marcus Huber, Erez Boukobza
One of the fundamental questions in quantum thermodynamics concerns the decomposition of energetic changes into heat and work. Contrary to classical engines, the entropy change of…

Thermodynamic analysis of quantum light amplification
E. Boukobza D. J. Tannor
Thermodynamics of a three-level maser was studied in the pioneering work of Scovil and Schulz-DuBois [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2, 262 (1959)]. In this work we consider the same three-level…

Entropy exchange and entanglement in the Jaynes-Cummings model
E. Boukobza, D. J. Tannor
The Jaynes-Cummings model is the simplest fully quantum model that describes the interaction between light and matter. We extend a previous analysis by Phoenix and Knight (S. J. D.…
