Non-equilibrium quantum heat machines
Rober Alicki, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky
Standard heat machines (engine, heat pump, refrigerator) are composed of a system ("working fluid") coupled to at least two equilibrium baths at different temperatures and periodic…
Thermoelectric generators as self-oscillating heat engines
Robert Alicki
In the previous paper of Alicki et.al. a model of a solar cell has been proposed in which the non-periodic source of energy - photon flux - drives the collective periodic motion of…
Markovian theory of dynamical decoupling by periodic control
Krzysztof Szczygielski, Robert Alicki
The recently developed formalism of Markovian master equations for quantum open systems with external periodic driving is applied to the theory of dynamical decoupling by periodic…
Comments on the paper "Foundation of statistical mechanics from symmetries of entanglement" by S. Deffner and W. Zurek
Robert Alicki
The authors of the recent paper [1] boldly claim to discover a new fully quantum approach to foundation of statistical mechanics: "Our conceptually novel approach is free of mathem…
