Generation of large Fock states from coherent states using Kerr interaction and displacement
Nilakantha Meher, Anirban Pathak, S. Sivakumar
We discuss a scheme to generate large Fock states. The scheme involves repeatedly applying an experimentally feasible unitary transformation to convert a semiclassical state into a…

Towards Nonlinear Quantum Thermodynamics
Gershon Kurizki, Nilakantha Meher, Avijit Misra +2
We have recently put forth several schemes of unconventional, nonlinearly-enabled thermodynamic (TD) devices that can operate in either the classical or the quantum domain by trans…

Nonlinearity and Quantumness in Thermodynamics: From Principles to Technologies
Gershon Kurizki, Nilakantha Meher, Tomáš Opatrný
The impact of quantum mechanics on thermodynamics, particularly on the principles and designs of heat machines (HM), has been limited by the incompatibility of quantum coherent evo…
