Comments on Extraction of Work from a Single Thermal Bath in the Quantum Regime
Elias P. Gyftopoulos, Michael R. von Spakovsky
In a PRL [1], the authors claim to show that "the Clausius inequality can be violated, and that it is even possible to extract work from a thermal bath by cyclic variations of a pa…
Comments on testing the violation of the Clausius inequality in nanoscale electric circuits
Elias P. Gyftopoulos, Michael R. von Spakovsky
The correct laws of thermodynamics, either classical or quantum without probabilities of statistical quantum mechanics are valid for all systems, large or small, including systems…
Comments on the breakdown of the Landauer bound for information erasure in the quantum regime
Elias P. Gyftopoulos, Michael R. von Spakovsky
Upon reviewing the article by Allahverdyan and Nieuwenhuizen in PRE, we conclude that neither the Landauer principle nor the counterexamples presented by the authors have any relat…
Comments on the Quantum Afterburner
Elias P. Gyftopoulos, Michael R. von Spakovsky
A process has been proposed to increase the efficiency of an ideal Otto cycle via a quantum heat engine that has no cooler reservoir. We show that such a process is not feasible.
Quantum Computation and Quantum Information: Are They Related to Quantum Paradoxology?
Elias P. Gyftopoulos, Michael R. von Spakovsky
We review both the Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen (EPR) paper about the completeness of quantum theory, and Schrodinger's responses to the EPR paper. We find that both the EPR paper and…
