Constraints between entropy production and its fluctuations in nonthermal engines
Matteo Acciai, Ludovico Tesser, Jakob Eriksson +3
We analyze a mesoscopic conductor autonomously performing a thermodynamically useful task, such as cooling or producing electrical power, in a part of the system -- the working sub…
Reservoir-Free Decoherence in Flying Qubits
Nicolò Piccione, Léa Bresque, Andrew N. Jordan +2
An effective time-dependent Hamiltonian can be implemented by making a quantum system fly through an inhomogeneous potential, realizing, for example, a quantum gate on its internal…
Illusory cracks in the second law of thermodynamics in quantum nanoelectronics
Robert S. Whitney
This is a review of the theory of quantum thermodynamic demons; these are quantum systems that look like they violate the laws of thermodynamics, in analogy with Maxwell's demon. I…
Optimizing resource efficiencies for scalable full-stack quantum computers
Marco Fellous-Asiani, Jing Hao Chai, Yvain Thonnart +3
In the race to build scalable quantum computers, minimizing the resource consumption of their full stack to achieve a target performance becomes crucial. It mandates a synergy of f…
Local bistability under microwave heating for spatially mapping disordered superconductors
D. B. Karki, R. S. Whitney, D. M. Basko
We theoretically study a strongly disordered superconducting layer heated by near-field microwave radiation from a nanometric metallic tip. The microwaves heat up the quasiparticle…
Quantifying nonequlibrium thermodynamic operations in a multiterminal mesoscopic system
Fatemeh Hajiloo, Rafael Sánchez, Robert S. Whitney +1
We investigate a multiterminal mesoscopic conductor in the quantum Hall regime, subject to temperature and voltage biases. The device can be considered as a nonequilibrium resource…
