Autonomization of Quantum Systems and the Emergence of the Work Operator
Carlo Cepollaro, Danial Chughtai, Alberto Spalvieri +2
Estimation of work at the quantum scale remains a central challenge in quantum thermodynamics. Canonical approaches have a fundamental drawback: they assume classical control of th…
Quantum Suicide in Many-Worlds Implies P=NP
Veronika Baumann, Alberto Rolandi
In this paper we propose a totally serious algorithm to solve NP problems in polynomial time provided one is willing to wager the fate of all observers in the universe on the many-…
Roadmap on Quantum Thermodynamics
Steve Campbell, Irene D'Amico, Mario A. Ciampini +66
The last two decades has seen quantum thermodynamics become a well established field of research in its own right. In that time, it has demonstrated a remarkably broad applicabilit…
Cooling a Qubit using n Others
Jake Xuereb, Benjamin Stratton, Alberto Rolandi +3
In the task of unitarily cooling a quantum system with access to a larger quantum system, known as the machine or reservoir, how does the structure of the machine impact an agent's…
Optimal Finite-Time Thermodynamics of Effective Two-Level Systems
Alberto Rolandi
The optimization of the conversion of thermal energy into work and the minimization of dissipation for nano- and mesoscopic systems is a complex challenge because of the important…
Rapid optimal work extraction from a quantum-dot information engine
Kushagra Aggarwal, Alberto Rolandi, Yikai Yang +8
The conversion of thermal energy into work is usually more efficient in the slow-driving regime, where the power output is vanishingly small. Efficient work extraction for fast dri…
