Cavity-induced temperature control of a two-level system
Hendrik Weimer, Günter Mahler
We consider a two-level atom interacting with a single mode of the electromagnetic field in a cavity within the Jaynes-Cummings model. Initially, the atom is thermal while the cavi…
Model Studies on the Quantum Jarzynski Relation
Jens Teifel, Günter Mahler
We study the quantum Jarzynski relation for driven quantum models embedded in various environments. We do so by generalizing a proof presented by Mukamel [Phys. Rev. Lett 90, 17060…
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…
Non Thermal Equilibrium States of Closed Bipartite Systems
Harry Schmidt, Guenter Mahler
We investigate a two-level system in resonant contact with a larger environment. The environment typically is in a canonical state with a given temperature initially. Depending on…
