A general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics is presented for open systems exchanging energy and particles with multiple reservoirs. By introducing a partition in terms of "macrostates" (e.g. sets of "microstates"), the consequence on…
The use of operator-splitting methods to solve differential equations is widespread, but the methods are generally only defined for a given number of operators, most commonly two. Most operator-splitting methods are not generalizable to…
We extend to the N-level Bloch model the splitting scheme which use exact numerical solutions of sub-equations. These exact solutions involve matrix exponentials which we want to avoid to calculate at each time step. We use Newton…
Scalar transport (e.g. heat or chemical species) in laminar flows is key to many industrial activities and fluid stirring by flow reorientation is a common way to enhance this process. However, "How best to stir?" remains a major challenge.…

A quantum system and a thermal bath can reach thermal equilibrium through an interaction, whereupon the system acquires the same temperature as the bath. But how does a delocalised quantum system thermalise with a bath whose local…
