Calorimetric measurement of quantum work
Jukka P. Pekola, Paolo Solinas, Alexander Shnirman +1
To define the work performed on a driven quantum system in a physically sound way has turned out to be a truly non-trivial task, except in some special cases of limited applicabili…
Single-electron current sources: towards a refined definition of ampere
J. P. Pekola, O. -P. Saira, V. F. Maisi +4
Controlling electrons at the level of elementary charge has been demonstrated experimentally already in the 1980's. Ever since, producing an electrical current , or its int…
FQHE interferometers in strong tunneling regime. The role of compactness of edge fields
Sriram Ganeshan, Alexander G. Abanov, Dmitri V. Averin
We consider multiple-point tunneling in the interferometers formed between edges of electron liquids with in general different filling factors in the regime of the Fractional Quant…
Decoherence induced deformation of the ground state in adiabatic quantum computation
Qiang Deng, Dmitri V. Averin, Mohammad H. Amin +1
Despite more than a decade of research on adiabatic quantum computation (AQC), its decoherence properties are still poorly understood. Many theoretical works have suggested that AQ…
Test of Jarzynski and Crooks fluctuation relations in an electronic system
O. -P. Saira, Y. Yoon, T. Tanttu +3
Recent progress on micro- and nanometer scale manipulation has opened the possibility to probe systems small enough that thermal fluctuations of energy and coordinate variables can…
Work and its fluctuations in a driven quantum system
Paolo Solinas, Dmitri V. Averin, Jukka P. Pekola
We analyze work done on a quantum system driven by a control field. The average work depends on the whole dynamics of the system, and is obtained as the integral of the average pow…
