Shortcuts to Adiabaticity in Driven Open Quantum Systems: Balanced Gain and Loss and Non-Markovian Evolution

A universal scheme is introduced to speed up the dynamics of a driven open quantum system along a prescribed trajectory of interest and superadiabatic cooling, heating, and isothermal strokes for a two-level system are engineer.

High-Efficiency Free Energy Estimates Based on Variational Shortcuts to Isothermality

The mean work in an isothermal process is widely acknowledged as an accurate estimator of the free energy difference, but the high time cost limits its practical applications. Here, enlightened by…

Performance of a quantum heat engine at strong reservoir coupling.

Exploiting a collective coordinate mapping, system-reservoir correlations are incorporated into a consistent thermodynamic analysis, thus circumventing the usual restriction to weak coupling and vanishing correlations.

Boosting work characteristics and overall heat-engine performance via shortcuts to adiabaticity: quantum and classical systems.

It is shown that the use of shortcuts, which directly enhances the engine output power, can also increase the heat-engine efficiency substantially, in both quantum and classical regimes.

Slow Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Open Quantum Systems.

We develop a perturbation theory of quantum (and classical) master equations with slowly varying parameters, applicable to systems which are externally controlled on a time scale much longer than…

Trade-Off Between Speed and Cost in Shortcuts to Adiabaticity.

The speed with which a quantum system can be driven when employing transitionless quantum driving is studied to establish a rigorous link between this speed, the quantum speed limit, and the (energetic) cost of implementing such a shortcut to adiabaticity.

Out-of-equilibrium operation of a quantum heat engine

Realistic quantum heat engines are operated at finite cycle times and thus represent open quantum systems in non-equilibrium. Here, their full time evolution including control of both the work medium…
