System-bath entanglement of noninteracting fermionic impurities: Equilibrium, transient, and steady-state regimes
Krzysztof Ptaszynski, Massimiliano Esposito
We investigate the behavior of entanglement between a single fermionic level and a fermionic bath in three distinct thermodynamic regimes. First, in thermal equilibrium, we analyze…
System-bath entanglement during Markovian relaxation of a fermionic impurity
Krzysztof Ptaszynski, Massimiliano Esposito
We investigate the dynamics of entanglement between the system and the environment during thermalization of a noninteracting fermionic impurity coupled to a fermionic thermal bath.…
A convenient Keldysh contour for thermodynamically consistent perturbative and semiclassical expansions
Vasco Cavina, Sadeq S. Kadijani, Massimiliano Esposito +1
The work fluctuation theorem (FT) is a symmetry connecting the moment generating functions (MGFs) of the work extracted in a given process and in its time-reversed counterpart. We…
Quantum and classical contributions to entropy production in fermionic and bosonic Gaussian systems
Krzysztof Ptaszynski, Massimiliano Esposito
As previously demonstrated, the entropy production -- a key quantity characterizing the irreversibility of thermodynamic processes -- is related to generation of correlations betwe…
Two-point measurement energy statistics from particle scattering
Samuel L. Jacob, Gabriel T. Landi, Massimiliano Esposito +1
We show that the energy statistics resulting from a two-point measurement of an isolated quantum system subject to a time-dependent driving protocol can be probed by subjecting the…
Thermalization and dephasing in collisional reservoirs
Jorge Tabanera-Bravo, Juan M. R. Parrondo, Massimiliano Esposito +1
We introduce a wide class of quantum maps that arise in collisional reservoirs and are able to thermalize a system if they operate in conjunction with an additional dephasing mecha…
Fermionic one-body entanglement as a thermodynamic resource
Krzysztof Ptaszynski, Massimiliano Esposito
There is ongoing controversy about whether a coherent superposition of the occupied states of two fermionic modes should be regarded entangled or not, that is, whether its intrinsi…
Thermodynamic consistency of quantum master equations
Ariane Soret, Vasco Cavina, Massimiliano Esposito
Starting from a microscopic system-baths description, we derive the general conditions for a time-local quantum master equation (QME) to satisfy the first and second law of thermod…
