Thermoelectric efficiency in momentum-conserving systems
Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Carlos Mejia-Monasterio
We show that for a two-dimensional gas of elastically interacting particles the thermoelectric efficiency reaches the Carnot efficiency in the thermodynamic limit. Numerical simula…
Fundamental aspects of steady state heat to work conversion
Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen +1
We review theoretical approaches to analyzing efficiency of steady state heat to work conversion which is crucial in the timely problem of optimizing efficiency of small-scale heat…
Translationally invariant conservation laws of local Lindblad equations
Marko Znidaric, Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati
We study the conditions under which one can conserve local translationally invariant operators by local translationally invariant Lindblad equations in one-dimensional rings of spi…
Complexity and instability of quantum motion near a quantum phase transition
Pinquan Qin, Wen-ge Wang, Giuliano Benenti +1
We show that the number of harmonics of the Wigner function, recently proposed as a measure of quantum complexity, can be also used to characterize quantum phase transitions. The n…
Non-ergodicity and localization of invariant measure for two colliding masses
Jiao Wang, Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen
We show evidence, based on extensive and carefully performed numerical experiments, that the system of two elastic hard-point masses in one-dimension is not ergodic for a generic m…
Time irreversible billiards with piecewise-straight trajectories
Giulio Casati, Tomaz Prosen
We introduce a new family of billiards which break time reversal symmetry in spite of having piece-wise straight trajectories. We show that our billiards preserve the ergodic and m…
