Fundamental aspects of steady-state conversion of heat to work at the nanoscale
In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

Measuring the temperature of cold many-body quantum systems
KV Hovhannisyan, LA Correa - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Precise low-temperature thermometry is a key requirement for virtually any quantum
technological application. Unfortunately, as the temperature T decreases, the errors in its …

Third law of thermodynamics as a single inequality
The third law of thermodynamics in the form of the unattainability principle states that exact
ground-state cooling requires infinite resources. Here, we investigate the amount of …

Fundamental limits for cooling of linear quantum refrigerators
We study the asymptotic dynamics of arbitrary linear quantum open systems that are
periodically driven while coupled with generic bosonic reservoirs. We obtain exact results for …

Four-level refrigerator driven by photons
We propose a quantum absorption refrigerator driven by photons. The model uses a four-
level system as its working substance and couples simultaneously to hot, cold, and solar …

Cooling to absolute zero: The unattainability principle
The unattainability principle (UP) is an operational formulation of the third law of
thermodynamics stating the impossibility to bring a system to its ground state in finite time. In …

Energy measurements remain thermometrically optimal beyond weak coupling
We develop a general perturbative theory of finite-coupling quantum thermometry up to
second order in probe-sample interaction. By assumption, the probe and sample are in …
