More bang for your buck: Super-adiabatic quantum engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The practical untenability of the quasi-static assumption makes any realistic engine intrinsically irreversible and its operating time finite, thus implying friction effects at short cycle times. An important technological goal is thus the design of maximally efficient engines working at the maximum possible power. We show that, by utilising shortcuts to adiabaticity in a quantum engine cycle, one can engineer a thermodynamic cycle working at finite power and zero friction. Our findings are illustrated using a harmonic oscillator undergoing a quantum Otto cycle.

Time-optimal processes for interacting spin systems
Reversible adiabatic processes connecting thermal equilibrium states are usually considered to be infinitely slow. Recently, fast reversible adiabatic processes for quantum systems have been discussed. Here we present time-optimal processes for a paradigmatic ensemble of two interacting spin1 2 systems in an external magnetic field, which previously had been employed as working fluid in a quant...
متن کاملMore BANG for your Buck: A Performance Comparison of BANG and R* Spatial Indexing
A current trend in database architecture is to provide 'data blades' or 'data cartridges' as 'plug-in' indexing methods to support new data types. The research project which gave rise to this paper aims to test the practicality of a diametrically opposite approach: the development of a new, generic indexing technology i.e. a single indexing technique capable of supporting a wide range of data t...

متن کاملDesign of power-efficient adiabatic charging circuit in 0.18μm CMOS technology
In energy supply applications for low-power sensors, there are cases where energy should be transmitted from a low-power battery to an output stage load capacitor. This paper presents an adiabatic charging circuit with a parallel switches approach that connects to a low-power battery and charges the load capacitor using a buck converter which operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM). A gate...
متن کاملMarketing Your Teaching
In part this is because over half of Ph.D.s will teach at institutions in which teaching is as important, if not more important, than research. Departments in the non-Ivies need excellent teachers who can attract students—especially non-majors. They are looking for scholars who can not only publish, but who can teach successfully, and who can effectively advise and mentor students. Even Ivies a...
