Non-Markovian quantum thermodynamics: laws and fluctuation theorems
Robert S. Whitney
This work brings together Keldysh non-equilibrium quantum theory and thermodynamics, by showing that a real-time diagrammatic technique is an equivalent of stochastic thermodynamic…

Fundamental aspects of steady-state conversion of heat to work at the nanoscale
Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Keiji Saito +1
In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving parts, throu…

Quantum coherent three-terminal thermoelectrics: maximum efficiency at given power output
Robert S. Whitney
We consider the nonlinear scattering theory for three-terminal thermoelectric devices, used for power generation or refrigeration. Such systems are quantum phase-coherent versions…
