The Quantum Absorption Refrigerator
A quantum absorption refrigerator driven by noise is studied with the purpose of determining the limitations of cooling to absolute zero. The model consists of a working medium coupled simultaneously to hot, cold and noise baths. Explicit expressions for the cooling power are obtained for Gaussian and Poisson white noise. The quantum model is consistent with the first and second laws of thermod...
متن کاملQuantum-circuit refrigerator
Quantum technology promises revolutionizing applications in information processing, communications, sensing and modelling. However, efficient on-demand cooling of the functional quantum degrees of freedom remains challenging in many solid-state implementations, such as superconducting circuits. Here we demonstrate direct cooling of a superconducting resonator mode using voltage-controllable ele...
متن کاملThe absorption refrigerator as a thermal transformer
The absorption refrigerator can be considered a thermal transformer, that is, a device that is analogous to the electric transformer. The analogy is based on the correspondence between the extensive quantities, entropy and electric charge and the intensive variables, temperature and electric potential.
متن کاملSmall quantum absorption refrigerator in the transient regime: Time scales, enhanced cooling, and entanglement.
A small quantum absorption refrigerator, consisting of three qubits, is discussed in the transient regime. We discuss time scales for coherent dynamics, damping, and approach to the steady state, and we study cooling and entanglement. We observe that cooling can be enhanced in the transient regime, in the sense that lower temperatures can be achieved compared to the steady-state regime. This is...
متن کاملExploring the Limits of a Quantum Refrigerator
Figure 1: Classical and quantum refrigerators. a) In a macroscopic cooling cycle, a compressor C and and an expansion valve E are used to locally change the pressure of a gas circulating through a closed pipe system. In this way, it is possible to pump heat from a cold to a hot reservoir, both held at constant temperature Tc and Th > Tc, respectively. b) A superconducting qubit driven by a time...
