Colloquium: Statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at strong coupling: Quantum and classical
P Talkner, P Hänggi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The statistical mechanical description of small systems staying in thermal equilibrium with an
environment can be achieved by means of the Hamiltonian of mean force. In contrast to the …

[HTML][HTML] A change of perspective: switching quantum reference frames via a perspective-neutral framework
Treating reference frames fundamentally as quantum systems is inevitable in quantum
gravity and also in quantum foundations once considering laboratories as physical systems …

Thermometry of strongly correlated fermionic quantum systems using impurity probes
We study quantum-impurity models as a platform for quantum thermometry. A single
quantum spin-1 2 impurity is coupled to an explicit, structured, fermionic thermal sample …
