Heat-machine control by quantum-state preparation: from quantum engines to refrigerators
David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Gershon Kurizki
We explore the dependence of the performance bounds of heat engines and refrigerators on the initial quantum state and the subsequent evolution of their piston, modeled by a quanti…
Work and energy gain of heat-pumped quantized amplifiers
David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Robert Alicki, Gershon Kurizki
We investigate heat-pumped single-mode amplifiers of quantized fields in high-Q cavities based on non-inverted two-level systems. Their power generation is shown to crucially depen…
Model of quantum measurement and thermodynamical cost of accuracy and stability of information processing
Robert Alicki
The quantum measurement problem is revisited and discussed in terms of a new solvable measurement model which basic ingredient is the quantum model of a controlled single-bit memor…
How much work can a quantum device extract from a heat engine?
D. Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, R. Alicki, G. Kurizki
Work extraction from a heat engine in a cycle by a quantum mechanical device (quantum "piston") is analyzed. The standard definition of work fails in the quantum domain. The correc…
