Portrait of the mathematician as a young man: Revisiting Trinity's Tayler picture
Alejandro Jenkins
A 17th-century oil painting by an unknown artist, once owned by the Tayler family and now in the collection of Trinity College, Cambridge, is currently identified as a portrait of…
Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Black-Hole Coronae: QPOs, Turbulence, and Jets
Vanessa López-Barquero, Alejandro Jenkins, Christopher S. Reynolds +1
The variability of X-rays observed from accreting black hole systems, including quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), suggests a complex nonlinear dynamics in the corona. Here, we pr…
The irreversible relaxation of inflation
Robert Alicki, Gabriela Barenboim, Alejandro Jenkins
Based on the results of a previous analysis of the Markovian master equation for the irreversible evolution of an open system embedded in de Sitter space, we include in the cosmolo…
Quantum thermodynamics of de Sitter space
Robert Alicki, Gabriela Barenboim, Alejandro Jenkins
We consider the local physics of an open quantum system embedded in an expanding three-dimensional space , evolving in cosmological time , weakly coupled to a massles…
The Josephson junction as a quantum engine
Robert Alicki, Michał Horodecki, Alejandro Jenkins +2
We treat the Cooper pairs in the superconducting electrodes of a Josephson junction (JJ) as an open system, coupled via Andreev scattering to external baths of electrons. The diseq…
The problem of engines in statistical physics
Robert Alicki, David Gelbwaser-Klimovsky, Alejandro Jenkins
Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically, at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematic…
