Quantum corrections to the entropy in a driven quantum Brownian motion model

Tian Qiu, H. T. Quan

Quantum Brownian motion model is a typical model in the study of nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics. Entropy is one of the most fundamental physical concepts in thermodynamics.…

Work statistics across a quantum phase transition

Zhaoyu Fei, Nahuel Freitas, Vasco Cavina +2

We investigate the statistics of the work performed during a quench across a quantum phase transition using the adiabatic perturbation theory. It is shown that all the cumulants of…

Quantum corrections to the entropy and its application in the study of quantum Carnot engines

Tian Qiu, Zhaoyu Fei, Rui Pan +1

Entropy is one of the most basic concepts in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The most widely used definition of statistical mechanical entropy for a quantum system is int…

Quantum-classical correspondence of work distributions for initial states with quantum coherence

Rui Pan, Zhaoyu Fei, Tian Qiu +2

The standard definition of quantum fluctuating work is based on the two-projective energy measurement, which however does not apply to systems with initial quantum coherence becaus…

Quantum work distributions associated with the dynamical Casimir effect

Zhaoyu Fei, Jing-Ning Zhang, Rui Pan +2

We study the joint probability distribution function of the work and the change of photon number of the nonequilibrium process of driving the electromagnetic (EM) field in a three-…

Effects of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction on nonequilibrium thermodynamics in the chain in a transverse field

Qian Wang, Duo Cao, H. T. Quan

We examine the effects of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction on the nonequilibrium thermodynamics in an anisotropic spin chain, which is driven out of equilibrium by a…
