Extended Kitaev chain with longer-range hopping and pairing
Antonio Alecce, Luca Dell'Anna
We consider the Kitaev chain model with finite and infinite range in the hopping and pairing parameters, looking in particular at the appearance of Majorana zero energy modes and m…

Quantum Otto cycle with inner friction: finite-time and disorder effects
A. Alecce, F. Galve, N. Lo Gullo +3
The concept of inner friction, by which a quantum heat engine is unable to follow adiabatically its strokes and thus dissipates useful energy, is illustrated in an exact physical m…

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…
