Thermodynamic universality across dissipative quantum phase transitions
Laetitia P. Bettmann, Artur M. Lacerda, Mark T. Mitchison +1
We study finite-time driving across second-order dissipative quantum phase transitions described by Lindblad dynamics. We show that the nonadiabatic entropy production, which quant…
Information geometry of transitions between quantum nonequilibrium steady states
Artur M. Lacerda, Laetitia P. Bettmann, John Goold
In a transition between nonequilibrium steady states, the entropic cost associated with the maintenance of steady-state currents can be distinguished from that arising from the tra…
Thermodynamics of photoelectric devices
Samuel L. Jacob, Artur M. Lacerda, Yonatan Dubi +1
We study the nonequilibrium steady state thermodynamics of a photodevice which can operate as a solar cell or a photoconductor, depending on the degree of asymmetry of the junction…
Dephasing-assisted transport in a tight-binding chain with a linear potential
Samuel L. Jacob, Laetitia P. Bettmann, Artur M. Lacerda +4
An environment interacting with a quantum system can enhance transport through the suppression of quantum effects responsible for localization. In this paper, we study the interpla…
