Quantum black holes as solvents
Erik Aurell, Michał Eckstein, Paweł Horodecki
Almost all of the entropy in the universe is in the form of Bekenstein--Hawking (BH) entropy of super-massive black holes. This entropy, if it satisfies Boltzmann's equation $S=\lo…
Large Deviations and Fluctuation Theorem for the Quantum Heat Current
Erik Aurell, Brecht Donvil, Kirone Mallick
We study the heat current flowing between two baths consisting of harmonic oscillators interacting with a qubit through a spin-boson coupling. An explicit expression for the genera…
An operator derivation of the Feynman-Vernon theory, with applications to the generating function of bath energy changes and to anharmonic baths
Erik Aurell, Ryoichi Kawai, Ketan Goyal
We present a derivation of the Feynman-Vernon approach to open quantum systems in the language of super-operators. We show that this gives a new and more direct derivation of the g…
On a Multilocus Wright-Fisher Model with Mutation and a Svirezhev-Shahshahani Gradient-like Selection Dynamics
Erik Aurell, Magnus Ekeberg, Timo Koski
In this paper we introduce a multilocus diffusion model of a population of haploid, asexually reproducing individuals. The model includes parent-dependent mutation and interloc…
A simplified characteristic functions of quantum heat
Erik Aurell
This paper presents a simplified structure of the characteristic function of the distribution of energy changes in a bosonic environment interacting linearly with a quantum system.…
A theory of non-equilibrium local search on random satisfaction problems
Erik Aurell, Eduardo Domínguez, David Machado +1
We study local search algorithms to solve instances of the random -satisfiabi lity problem, equivalent to finding (if they exist) zero-energy ground states of statistical models…
Thermal power of heat flow through a qubit
Erik Aurell, Federica Montana
In this paper we consider thermal power of a heat flow through a qubit between two baths. The baths are modeled as set of harmonic oscillators initially at equilibrium, at two temp…
