Hyperacceleration of quantum thermalization dynamics by bypassing long-lived coherences: An analytical treatment

F Ivander, N Anto-Sztrikacs, D Segal - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We develop a perturbative technique for solving Markovian quantum dissipative dynamics,
with the perturbation parameter being a small gap in the eigenspectrum. As an example, we …

Full counting statistics and coherences: Fluctuation symmetry in heat transport with the unified quantum master equation

M Gerry, D Segal - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Recently, a “unified” quantum master equation was derived and shown to be of the Gorini-
Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan form. This equation describes the dynamics of open …

Quantum coherence-control of thermal energy transport: the V model as a case study

F Ivander, N Anto-Sztrikacs, D Segal - New Journal of Physics, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
