Optimal unitary trajectories under commuting target and cost observables; applications to cooling
Ralph Silva, Pharnam Bakhshinezhad, Fabien Clivaz
The preparation of quantum states, especially cooling, is a fundamental technology for nanoscale devices. The past decade has seen important results related to both the limits of s…
Reconstructing thermal states using dimensionally limited probes : A Model for Limited Control & Memory in Quantum Thermodynamics
Jake Xuereb, A. de Oliveira Junior, Fabien Clivaz +2
Whilst the complexity of acquiring knowledge of a quantum state has been extensively studied in the fields of quantum tomography and quantum learning, a physical understanding of i…
Operational nonclassicality in minimal autonomous thermal machines
Jonatan Bohr Brask, Fabien Clivaz, Géraldine Haack +1
Thermal machines exploit interactions with multiple heat baths to perform useful tasks, such as work production and refrigeration. In the quantum regime, tasks with no classical co…
Landauer vs. Nernst: What is the True Cost of Cooling a Quantum System?
Philip Taranto, Faraj Bakhshinezhad, Andreas Bluhm +9
Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of thermodyn…
Optimal Manipulation Of Correlations And Temperature In Quantum Thermodynamics
Fabien Clivaz
This thesis is devoted to studying two tasks: refrigeration and the creation of correlations. In the refrigeration part, two different paradigms of cooling, namely coherent and inc…
Exponential improvement for quantum cooling through finite-memory effects
Philip Taranto, Faraj Bakhshinezhad, Philipp Schüttelkopf +2
Practical implementations of quantum technologies require preparation of states with a high degree of purity---or, in thermodynamic terms, very low temperatures. Given finite resou…
Thermodynamically optimal creation of correlations
Faraj Bakhshinezhad, Fabien Clivaz, Giuseppe Vitagliano +4
Correlations lie at the heart of almost all scientific predictions. It is therefore of interest to ask whether there exist general limitations to the amount of correlations that ca…
Unifying paradigms of quantum refrigeration: A universal and attainable bound on cooling
Fabien Clivaz, Ralph Silva, Géraldine Haack +3
Cooling quantum systems is arguably one of the most important thermodynamic tasks connected to modern quantum technologies and an interesting question from a foundational perspecti…
Unifying paradigms of quantum refrigeration: fundamental limits of cooling and associated work costs
Fabien Clivaz, Ralph Silva, Géraldine Haack +3
In classical thermodynamics the work cost of control can typically be neglected. On the contrary, in quantum thermodynamics the cost of control constitutes a fundamental contributi…
Stahl's Theorem (aka BMV Conjecture): Insights and Intuition on its Proof
Fabien Clivaz
The Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecture states that the trace of is, as a function of the real variable , the Laplace transform of a positive measure, where and $B…
Genuine-multipartite entanglement criteria based on positive maps
Fabien Clivaz, Marcus Huber, Ludovico Lami +1
Positive maps applied to a subsystem of a bipartite quantum state constitute a central tool in characterising entanglement. In the multipartite case, however, the direct applicatio…
