Probing Quantum Interference Effects in the Work Distribution
Paolo Solinas, Simone Gasparinetti
What is the role of coherence in determining the distribution of work done on a quantum system? We approach this question from an operational perspective and consider a setup in wh…
Full distribution of work done on a quantum system for arbitrary initial states
P. Solinas, S. Gasparinetti
We propose a novel approach to define and measure the statistics of work, internal energy and dissipated heat in a driven quantum system. In our framework the presence of a physica…
Incomplete measurement of work in a dissipative two level system
Klaara L. Viisanen, Samu Suomela, Simone Gasparinetti +3
We discuss work performed on a quantum two-level system coupled to multiple thermal baths. To evaluate the work, a measurement of photon exchange between the system and the baths i…
A Josephson radiation comb generator
P. Solinas, S. Gasparinetti, D. Golubev +1
We propose the implementation of a Josephson Radiation Comb Generator (JRCG) based on a dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) driven by an external magnetic field.…
Heat-exchange statistics in driven open quantum systems
S. Gasparinetti, P. Solinas, A. Braggio +1
As the dimensions of physical systems approach the nanoscale, the laws of thermodynamics must be reconsidered due to the increased importance of fluctuations and quantum effects. W…
Lamb shift enhancement and detection in strongly driven superconducting circuits
Vera Gramich, Simone Gasparinetti, Paolo Solinas +1
It is shown that strong driving of a quantum system substantially enhances the Lamb shift induced by broadband reservoirs which are typical for solid-state devices. By varying driv…
Environment-governed dynamics in driven quantum systems
S. Gasparinetti, P. Solinas, S. Pugnetti +2
We show that the dynamics of a driven quantum system weakly coupled to the environment can exhibit two distinct regimes. While the relaxation basis is usually determined by the sys…
Coherent Cooper-pair pumping by magnetic flux control
S. Gasparinetti, I. Kamleitner
We introduce and discuss a scheme for Cooper-pair pumping. The scheme relies on the coherent transfer of a superposition of charge states across a superconducting island and is rea…
Single Cooper-pair pumping in the adiabatic limit and beyond
S. Gasparinetti, P. Solinas, Y. Yoon +1
We demonstrate controlled pumping of Cooper pairs down to the level of a single pair per cycle, using an rf-driven Cooper-pair sluice. We also investigate the breakdown of the adia…
Geometric Landau-Zener interferometry in a superconducting charge pump
S. Gasparinetti, P. Solinas, J. P. Pekola
We propose a new type of interferometry, based on geometric phases accumulated by a periodically driven two-level system undergoing multiple Landau-Zener transitions. As a specific…
Capacitively Enhanced Thermal Escape in Underdamped Josephson Junctions
Y. Yoon, S. Gasparinetti, M. Möttönen +1
We have studied experimentally the escape dynamics in underdamped capacitively shunted and unshunted Josephson junctions with submicroampere critical currents below 0.5 K temperatu…
