Thermodynamic efficiency of information and heat flow
Armen E. Allahverdyan, Dominik Janzing, Guenter Mahler
A basic task of information processing is information transfer (flow). Here we study a pair of Brownian particles each coupled to a thermal bath at temperature and , res…
Emergence of thermodynamic behavior within composite quantum systems
Guenter Mahler, Jochen Gemmer, Mathias Michel
Entanglement within a given device provides a potential resource for quantum information processing. Entanglement between system and environment leads to decoherence (thus suppress…
Fourier's Law confirmed for a class of small quantum systems
Mathias Michel, Michael Hartmann, Jochen Gemmer +1
Within the Lindblad formalism we consider an interacting spin chain coupled locally to heat baths. We investigate the dependence of the energy transport on the type of interaction…
Heat conductivity in small quantum systems: Kubo formula in Liouville space
Mathias Michel, Jochen Gemmer, Guenter Mahler
We consider chains consisting of several identical subsystems weakly coupled by various types of next neighbor interactions. At both ends the chain is coupled to a respective heat…
Relaxation into equilibrium under pure Schrödinger dynamics
P. Borowski, J. Gemmer, G. Mahler
We consider bipartite quantum systems that are described completely by a state vector and the fully deterministic Schrödinger equation. Under weak constraints and without…
Quantum Approach to a Derivation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics
Jochen Gemmer, Alexander Otte, Guenter Mahler
We re-interprete the microcanonical conditions in the quantum domain as constraints for the interaction of the "gas-subsystem" under consideration and its environment ("container")…
