Impossibility of Refrigeration and Engine Operation in Minimal Qubit Repeated-Interaction Models
Gabrielle Barsky-Giles, Alessandro Prositto, Matthew Gerry +1
We investigate the operation of a qubit as a quantum thermal device within the repeated interaction framework, allowing for strong system-bath coupling and finite interaction times…

Separation of relaxation timescales via strong system-bath coupling: Dissipative three-level system as a case study
Brett Min, Matthew Gerry, Dvira Segal
We analytically demonstrate that strong system-bath coupling separates the relaxation dynamics of a dissipative quantum system into two distinct regimes: a short-time dynamics that…
