Quantum query complexity of entropy estimation
Tongyang Li, Xiaodi Wu
Estimation of Shannon and Rényi entropies of unknown discrete distributions is a fundamental problem in statistical property testing and an active research topic in both theoretica…
Controlling and maximizing effective thermal properties by manipulating transient behaviors during energy-system cycles
Z. J. Gao, T. M. Shih, H. Merlitz +2
Transient processes generally constitute part of energy-system cycles. If skillfully manipulated, they actually are capable of assisting systems to behave beneficially to suit desi…
Entropy variation rate divided by temperature always decreases
T. M. Shih, Z. J. Gao, H. Merlitz +3
For an isolated assembly that comprises a system and its surrounding reservoirs, the total entropy () always monotonically increases as time elapses. This phenomenon is know…
Maximal rectification ratios for bi-segment thermal rectifiers
Tien-Mo Shih, Zhaojing Gao, Ziquan Guo +4
We study bi-segment thermal rectifiers whose forward heat fluxes are greater than reverse counterparts. Presently, a shortcoming of thermal rectifiers is that the rectification rat…
Hybrid photovoltaic and electron-tunneling converters
Shanhe Su, Jincan Chen, Tien-Mo Shih
Photon impingement is capable of liberating electrons in semiconductors. When the electron transport is primarily governed by temperature gradients, high irreversibilities will res…
