Key issues review: useful autonomous quantum machines

JAM Guzmán, P Erker, S Gasparinetti… - Reports on Progress …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Controlled quantum machines have matured significantly. A natural next step is to
increasingly grant them autonomy, freeing them from time-dependent external control. For …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum thermodynamic devices: From theoretical proposals to experimental reality

NM Myers, O Abah, S Deffner - AVS quantum science, 2022 - pubs.aip.org
Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

Inelastic thermoelectric transport and fluctuations in mesoscopic systems

R Wang, C Wang, J Lu, JH Jiang - Advances in Physics: X, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
In the past decade, a new research frontier emerges at the interface between physics and
renewable energy, termed as inelastic thermoelectric effects, where inelastic transport …

General theory of static response for markov jump processes

T Aslyamov, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We consider Markov jump processes on a graph described by a rate matrix that depends on
various control parameters. We derive explicit expressions for the static responses of edge …

Dissipation bounds precision of current response to kinetic perturbations

K Ptaszyński, T Aslyamov, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The precision of currents in Markov networks is bounded by dissipation via the so-called
thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR). In our Letter, we demonstrate a similar inequality …

[HTML][HTML] A change of perspective: switching quantum reference frames via a perspective-neutral framework

A Vanrietvelde, PA Höhn, F Giacomini… - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
Treating reference frames fundamentally as quantum systems is inevitable in quantum
gravity and also in quantum foundations once considering laboratories as physical systems …

Nonequilibrium response for markov jump processes: Exact results and tight bounds

T Aslyamov, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Generalizing response theory of open systems far from equilibrium is a central quest of
nonequilibrium statistical physics. Using stochastic thermodynamics, we develop an …

Ideal projective measurements have infinite resource costs

Y Guryanova, N Friis, M Huber - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
We show that it is impossible to perform ideal projective measurements on quantum systems
using finite resources. We identify three fundamental features of ideal projective …

Microwave power harvesting using resonator-coupled double quantum dot photodiode

S Haldar, D Zenelaj, PP Potts, H Havir, S Lehmann… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We demonstrate a microwave power-to-electrical energy conversion in a resonator-coupled
double quantum dot. The system, operated as a photodiode, converts individual microwave …

Nonlocal quantum heat engines made of hybrid superconducting devices

SM Tabatabaei, D Sánchez, AL Yeyati, R Sánchez - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We discuss a quantum thermal machine that generates power from a thermally driven
double quantum dot coupled to normal and superconducting reservoirs. Energy exchange …
