A convenient Keldysh contour for thermodynamically consistent perturbative and semiclassical expansions
Vasco Cavina, Sadeq S. Kadijani, Massimiliano Esposito +1
The work fluctuation theorem (FT) is a symmetry connecting the moment generating functions (MGFs) of the work extracted in a given process and in its time-reversed counterpart. We…
Quantum friction in the Hydrodynamic Model
Kunmin Wu, Thomas L. Schmidt, M. Belén Farias
We study the phenomenon of quantum friction in a system consisting of a polarizable atom moving at a constant speed parallel to a metallic plate. The metal is described using a cha…
Heat transport in overdamped quantum systems
Sadeq S. Kadijani, Thomas L. Schmidt, Massimiliano Esposito +1
We obtain an analytical expression for the heat current between two overdamped quantum oscillators interacting with local thermal baths at different temperatures. The total heat cu…
Fermionic reaction coordinates and their application to an autonomous Maxwell demon in the strong coupling regime
Philipp Strasberg, Gernot Schaller, Thomas L. Schmidt +1
We establish a theoretical method which goes beyond the weak coupling and Markovian approximations while remaining intuitive, using a quantum master equation in a larger Hilbert sp…
