Heat Flow in Classical and Quantum Systems and Thermal Rectification
The understanding of the underlying dynamical mechanisms which determine the macroscopic laws of heat conduction is a long standing task of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. A better understanding of the mechanism of heat conduction may lead to potentially interesting applications based on the possibility to control the heat flow. Indeed, different models of thermal rectifiers has been rec...
متن کاملQuantum machines with classical control
Herein we survey the main results concerning quantum automata and machines with classical control. These machines were originally proposed by Sernadas et al in [37], during the FCT QuantLog project. First, we focus on the expressivity of quantum automata with both quantum and classical states. We revise the result obtained in [32] where it was proved that such automata are able to recognise, wi...
متن کاملMolecular machines operating on the nanoscale: from classical to quantum
The main physical features and operating principles of isothermal nanomachines in the microworld, common to both classical and quantum machines, are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the dual, constructive role of dissipation and thermal fluctuations, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, heat losses and free energy transduction, thermodynamic efficiency, and thermodynamic efficiency at max...
متن کاملQuasi-Local Energy in Loop Quantum Gravity
Although there is no known meaningful notion of the energy density of the gravitational field in general relativity, a few notions of quasi-local energy of gravity associated to extended but finite domains have been proposed. In this paper, the notions of quasi-local energy are studied in the framework of loop quantum gravity, in order to see whether these notions can be carried out at quantum ...
متن کاملThe Classical and Quantum Theory of Thermal Magnetic Noise
A general theory of thermal magnetic fluctuations near the surface of conductive and/or magnetically permeable slabs is developed; such fluctuations are the magnetic analog of Johnson voltage noise. Starting with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem and Maxwell’s equations, a closed-form expression for the magnetic noise spectral density is derived. Quantum decoherence, as induced by thermal mag...
