Thermodynamics of Markovian Open Quantum Systems with Application to Lasers
Robert Alicki
Goran Lindblad was one of the pioneers of what is called now Quantum Thermodynamics. From this vast and rapidly developing field we have selected a sample of results concerning qua…
The Josephson junction as a quantum engine
Robert Alicki, Michał Horodecki, Alejandro Jenkins +2
We treat the Cooper pairs in the superconducting electrodes of a Josephson junction (JJ) as an open system, coupled via Andreev scattering to external baths of electrons. The diseq…
Violation of Detailed Balance in Quantum Open Systems
Robert Alicki, Milan Šindelka, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky
We consider the dynamics of a quantum system immersed in a dilute gas at thermodynamics equilibrium using a quantum Markovian master equation derived by applying the low-density li…
An approximation scheme and non-Hermitian re-normalization for description of atom-field system evolution
Borhan Ahmadi, Ricard Ravell Rodríguez, Robert Alicki +1
Interactions between a source of light and atoms are ubiquitous in nature. The study of them is interesting on the fundamental level as well as for applications. They are in the co…
Catalysis in Charging Quantum Batteries
Ricard Ravell Rodriguez, Borhan Ahmadi, Pawel Mazurek +3
We propose a novel approach for optimization of charging of harmonic oscillators (quantum batteries) coupled to a harmonic oscillator (charger), driven by laser field. We demonstra…
Corrections to the Hamiltonian induced by finite-strength coupling to the environment
Marcin Łobejko, Marek Winczewski, Gerardo Suárez +2
If a quantum system interacts with the environment, then the Hamiltonian acquires a correction known as the Lamb-shift term. There are two other corrections to the Hamiltonian, rel…
