The second law and fluctuations of work: The case against quantum fluctuation theorems
A. E. Allahverdyan, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
We study how Thomson's formulation of the second law: no work is extracted from an equilibrium ensemble by a cyclic process, emerges in the quantum situation through the averaging…
Force-induced unzipping of DNA with long-range correlated sequence
A. E. Allahverdyan, Zh. S. Gevorkian
We consider force-induced unzipping transition for a heterogeneous DNA model with a long-range correlated base-sequence. It is shown that as compared to the uncorrelated situation,…
Invalidity of the Landauer inequality for information erasure in the quantum regime
A. E. Allahverdyan, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
A known aspect of the Clausius inequality is that an equilibrium system subjected to a squeezing $\d S<0$ of its entropy must release at least an amount $|\dbarrm Q|=T|\d S|$ of he…
Kinetic equation model for self-gravitating systems
A. E. Allahverdyan, Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen
The kinetic theory of a self-gravitating system is considered in the framework of Bhatnager-Gross-Krook model. This approach offers a unique and tractable setup for studying the ce…
Statistical thermodynamics of quantum Brownian motion: Birth of perpetuum mobile of the second kind
Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen, A. E. Allahverdyan
The Brownian motion of a quantum particle in a harmonic confining potential and coupled to a harmonic quantum thermal bath is exactly solvable. It is shown that at low enough tempe…
