Quantum Hamiltonian daemons: unitary analogs of combustion engines
Eike P. Thesing, Lukas Gilz, James R. Anglin
Hamiltonian daemons have recently been defined classically as small, closed Hamiltonian systems which can exhibit secular energy transfer from high-frequency to low-frequency degre…
Hamiltonian analogs of combustion engines: a systematic exception to adiabatic decoupling
Lukas Gilz, Eike P. Thesing, James R. Anglin
Workhorse theories throughout all of physics derive effective Hamiltonians to describe slow time evolution, even though low-frequency modes are actually coupled to high-frequency m…
The classical mechanics of autonomous microscopic engines
Lukas Gilz, Eike P. Thesing, James R. Anglin
Even microscopic engines have hitherto been defined to require macroscopic elements such as heat reservoirs, but here we observe that what makes engines useful is energy transfer a…
Decoherence of trapped bosons by buffer gas scattering: What length scales matter?
Lukas Gilz, Luis Rico-Pérez, James R. Anglin
We ask and answer a basic question about the length scales involved in quantum decoherence: how far apart in space do two parts of a quantum system have to be, before a common quan…
Generalized thermodynamics of an autonomous micro-engine
Lukas Gilz, Eike P. Thesing, James R. Anglin
We analyze an autonomous micro-engine as a closed quantum mechanical system, including the work it performs and the fuel it consumes. Our model system shows by example that it is p…
Quantum Kinetic Theory of Collisionless Superfluid Internal Convection
Lukas Gilz, James R. Anglin
Superfluids can transport heat via simultaneous opposite flows of their spatially interpenetrating condensate and thermal components. While this internal convection is usually desc…
