Quantum vs Classical Thermal Transport at Low Temperatures
Zhixing Zou, Jiangbin Gong, Jiao Wang +2
This work aims to understand how quantum mechanics affects heat transport at low temperatures. In the classical setting, by considering a simple paradigmatic model, our simulations…
Rectification of heat current in Corbino geometry
Zhixing Zou, Giulio Casati, Giuliano Benenti +1
We prove analytically the ballistic thermal rectification effect (BTRE) in the Corbino disk characterized by an annular shape. We derive the thermal rectification efficiency (RE) a…
Non-Fourier heat transport in nanosystems
Giuliano Benenti, Davide Donadio, Stefano Lepri +1
Energy transfer in small nanosized systems can be very different from that in their macroscopic counterparts due to reduced dimensionality, interaction with surfaces, disorder, and…
Autonomous Circular Heat Engine
Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Fabio Marchesoni +1
A dynamical model of a highly efficient heat engine is proposed, where an applied temperature difference maintains the motion of particles around the circuit consisting of two asym…
Classical physics and blackbody radiation
Jiao Wang, Giulio Casati, Giuliano Benenti
We investigate the properties of the blackbody spectrum by direct numerical solution of the classical equations of motion of a one-dimensional model that contains the essential gen…
From ETH to algebraic relaxation of OTOCs in systems with conserved quantities
Vinitha Balachandran, Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati +1
The relaxation of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) has been studied as a mean to characterize the scrambling properties of a quantum system. We show that the presence of loc…
