Extractable work from ensembles of quantum batteries. Entanglement helps
Robert Alicki, Mark Fannes
Motivated by the recent interest in thermodynamics of micro- and mesoscopic quantum systems we study the maximal amount of work that can be reversibly extracted from a quantum syst…
Markovian Master Equation and Thermodynamics of Two-level System in Strong Laser Field
K. Szczygielski, D. Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, R. Alicki
The recently developed technique combining the weak coupling limit with the Floquet formalism is applied to a model of two-level atom driven by a strong laser field and weakly coup…
Work extraction via quantum nondemolition measurements of qubits in cavities: Non-Markovian effects
David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Noam Erez, Robert Alicki +1
We show that frequent nondemolition measurements of a quantum system immersed in a thermal bath allow the extraction of work in a closed cycle from the system-bath interaction (cor…
Minimal universal quantum heat machine
David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Robert Alicki, Gershon Kurizki
In traditional thermodynamics the Carnot cycle yields the ideal performance bound of heat engines and refrigerators. We propose and analyze a minimal model of a heat machine that c…
Comments on "Cooling by Heating: Refrigerator Powered by Photons"
Amikam Levy, Robert Alicki, Ronnie Kosloff
We comment that the model proposed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 120603 (2012) violates the dynamical version of the third law of thermodynamics. We discuses the different formulations…
Quantum bath refrigeration towards absolute zero: unattainability principle challenged
Michal Kolář, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Robert Alicki +1
A minimal model of a quantum refrigerator (QR), i.e. a periodically phase-flipped two-level system permanently coupled to a finite-capacity bath (cold bath) and an infinite heat du…
