Causal games of work extraction with indefinite causal order
Gianluca Francica
An indefinite causal order, where the causes of events are not necessarily in past events, is predicted by the process matrix framework. A fundamental question is how these non-sep…

The driven Dicke Model: time-dependent mean field and quantum fluctuations in a non-equilibrium quantum many-body system
G. Francica, S. Montangero, M. Paternostro +1
We establish a new theoretical framework, based on a time-dependent mean field approach, to address the dynamics of the driven Dicke model. The joint evolution of both mean fields…

Irreversible work and inner friction in quantum thermodynamic processes
F. Plastina, A. Alecce, T. J. G. Apollaro +5
We discuss the thermodynamics of closed quantum systems driven out of equilibrium by a change in a control parameter and undergoing a unitary process. We compare the work actually…
