Engineering separatrix volume as a control technique for dynamical transitions
Timo Eichmann, Eike P. Thesing, James R. Anglin
Dynamical transitions, such as a change from bound to unbound motion, often occur as post-adiabatic crossings of a time-dependent separatrix. Whether or not any given orbit will in…
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…
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…
