Particle statistics impose fundamental constraints on nonequilibrium quantum dynamics, yet it remains an open question whether anyonic statistics can lead to emergent dynamical scaling beyond the conventional Bose-Fermi paradigm. Here we…
We show that a quantum Otto cycle in which the medium, an interacting ultracold gas, is driven between a superfluid and an insulating phase can outperform similar single particle cycles. The presence of an energy gap between the two phases…
We present a systematic study of statistical mechanics for non-Hermitian quantum systems. Our work reveals that the stability of a non-Hermitian system necessitates the existence of a single path-dependent conserved quantity, which, in…
We derive a bound on the efficiency of thermal engines that can be sharper than Carnot's limit. It is a function of statistical correlations between the engine internal state and Hamiltonian, can be saturated even in finite-time cycles, and…
Quantum fluctuations, which result from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, explain a number of physical observations, from the finite mass of elementary particles to the Lamb shift in hydrogen and the Casimir effect. The local violation…
