Enhancing the power of a quantum heat engine via control of the system--reservoir coupling
Sabrina Burgardt, Julian Feß, Silvia Hiebel +2
The non-equilibrium properties of open quantum systems are determined by the microscopic laws governing energy exchange with their environment. In particular, an enhancement of the…
Quantization of the classical Mpemba effect
Jannis Melles, Hartmut Löwen, Benno Liebchen +4
The Mpemba effect refers to the counterintuitive phenomenon that an initially hot system can freeze faster than an initially warm one. Recent years have brought major advances in b…
Quantum-enabled active matter at the atomic scale
Sabrina Burgardt, Julian FeÃ, Alexander Guthmann +8
Active matter comprises particles that extract energy from their local environment and convert it into motion. Although active particles have been miniaturized down to the nanoscal…
Roadmap on Quantum Thermodynamics
Steve Campbell, Irene D'Amico, Mario A. Ciampini +66
The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicabilit…
