Thermodynamics of Micro- and Nano-Systems Driven by Periodic Temperature Variations
Kay Brandner, Keiji Saito, Udo Seifert
We introduce a general framework for analyzing the thermodynamics of small systems that are driven by both a periodic temperature variation and some external parameter modulating t…

Coherence-enhanced efficiency of feedback-driven quantum engines
Kay Brandner, Michael Bauer, Michael T. Schmid +1
A genuine feature of projective quantum measurements is that they inevitably alter the mean energy of the observed system if the measured quantity does not commute with the Hamilto…

Bound on Thermoelectric Power in a Magnetic Field within Linear Response
Kay Brandner, Udo Seifert
For thermoelectric power generation in a multi-terminal geometry, strong numerical evidence for a universal bound as a function of the magnetic-field induced asymmetry of the non-d…
