We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation based on Langevin equation has been widely used in
the study of structural, thermal properties of matter in different phases. Normally, the atomic …

We present a general unified approach for the study of quantum thermal machines,
including both heat engines and refrigerators, operating under periodic adiabatic driving …

Exceptional point degeneracies, occurring in non-Hermitian systems, have challenged many
well established concepts and led to the development of remarkable technologies. Here, we …

In recent years, several artificial molecular motors driven and controlled by electric currents
have been proposed. Similar to Brownian machines, these systems work by turning random …

During the last decades, quantum dots within the Coulomb blockade regime of transport
have been proposed as essential building blocks for a wide variety of nanomachines. This …

The manipulation and coupling of molecule gears is the first step toward realizing molecular-
scale mechanical machines. Here, we theoretically investigate the behavior of such gears …

In this article, we briefly review the dynamical and thermodynamical aspects of different
forms of quantum motors and quantum pumps. We then extend previous results to provide …

In recent years there has been increasing excitement regarding nanomotors and particularly
current-driven nanomotors. Despite the broad variety of stimulating results found, the regime …

We present a field-theoretic treatment of an adiabatic quantum motor. We explicitly discuss a
motor called the Thouless motor which is based on a Thouless pump operating in reverse …
