Local effective dynamics of quantum systems: A generalized approach to work and heat
Hendrik Weimer, Markus J. Henrich, Florian Rempp +2
By computing the local energy expectation values with respect to some local measurement basis we show that for any quantum system there are two fundamentally different contribution…
Driven Spin Systems as Quantum Thermodynamic Machines: Fundamental Limits
M. J. Henrich, M. Michel, G. Mahler
We show that coupled two level systems like qubits studied in quantum information can be used as a thermodynamic machine. At least three qubits or spins are necessary and arranged…
Modeling heat transport through completely positive maps
Hannu Wichterich, Markus J. Henrich, Heinz-Peter Breuer +2
We investigate heat transport in a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain, coupled locally to independent thermal baths of different temperature. The analysis is carried out within the framewor…
