Asymmetries of thermal processes in open quantum systems
Ãlvaro Tejero, Rafael Sánchez, Laiachi El Kaoutit +2
An intriguing phenomenon in non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is the asymmetry of thermal processes. Relaxation to thermal equilibrium is the most important dissipative proces…

Autonomous demon exploiting heat and information at the trajectory level
Juliette Monsel, Matteo Acciai, Rafael Sánchez +1
We propose an electronic bipartite system consisting of a working substance, in which a refrigeration process is implemented, and of a nonthermal resource region, containing a comb…
