Quantum-enhanced absorption refrigerators
Thermodynamics is a branch of science blessed by an unparalleled combination of generality of scope and formal simplicity. Based on few natural assumptions together with the four laws, it sets the boundaries between possible and impossible in macroscopic aggregates of matter. This triggered groundbreaking achievements in physics, chemistry and engineering over the last two centuries. Close anal...
متن کاملEntanglement enhances cooling in microscopic quantum refrigerators.
Small self-contained quantum thermal machines function without external source of work or control but using only incoherent interactions with thermal baths. Here we investigate the role of entanglement in a small self-contained quantum refrigerator. We first show that entanglement is detrimental as far as efficiency is concerned-fridges operating at efficiencies close to the Carnot limit do not...
متن کاملA purely dipolar quantum gas
In usual experiments with BECs, the only relevant interaction is the isotropic and shortrange contact interaction, which is described by a single parameter, the scattering length a. In contrast, the dipole–dipole interaction between particles possessing an electric or magnetic dipole moment is of long range character and anisotropic, which gives rise to new phenomena 1. Most prominently, the st...
متن کاملQuantum Refrigerators and the Iii-law of Thermodynamics
Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamical laws from quantum mechanics. The III-law of thermodynamics has been mostly ignored. There are seemingly two independent formulation of the third law of thermodynamics, both originally stated by Nernst. The first is known as Nernst heat theorem, which is purely static, and implies that the entropy flow from any substance at the ab...
متن کاملSemantics of a purely quantum programming language
Quantum algorithm is the key to dig the potential power of quantum computing and make quantum computation more efficient than its classical analogue. However, present methods of designing quantum algorithms are too tricky and lack of systematic development. The aim of quantum programming languages is to deal with this problem and try to provide a high-level and unifying description and treatmen...
