Granular jamming has been identified as a fundamental mechanism for the operation of robotic grippers. In this work, we show, that soft particles like expanded polystyrene beads lead to significantly larger gripping forces in comparison to…

We consider effective interactions in a 2D hybrid polariton- electron system and calculate dispersion of elementary excitations accounting the spin degree of freedom of the particles. Due to the crucial role played by the exchange term in…

We introduce a class of thermal operations based on the collision model, where the system sequentially interacts with uncorrelated bath molecules via energy-preserving unitaries. To ensure finite complexity, each molecule is constrained to…

We propose to store several integers modulo a small prime into a single machine word. Modular addition is performed by addition and possibly subtraction of a word containing several times the modulo. Modular Multiplication is not directly…

We present a self-contained engine, which is made of one or more two-level systems, each of which is coupled to a single bath, as well as to a common load composed of a particle on a tilted lattice. We show that the energy and the entropy…

For a spinor gas, i.e., a mixture of identical particles with several internal degrees of freedom, we derive the partition function in terms of the Feynman-Kac functionals of polarized components. As an example we study a spin-1 Bose gas…

In many composites the electrical transport takes place only by tunneling between isolated particles. For a long time it was quite a puzzle how, in spite of the incompatibility of tunneling and percolation networks, these composites conform…

The object of the present article is a 1d lattice-gas system comprised of soft-particles, wherein particles interact only if they occupy the same or a neighboring site, as a simple representation of penetrable particles of soft condensed…

The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling reasons to investigate microscopic machines. Thermal…

We demonstrate that the system composed of a gyrotropic particle out of thermal equilibrium with vacuum can be regarded as a heat engine. Such a particle, initially at rest, will experience a fluctuation-induced torque and start to rotate,…

It is well-known that magnetic forces can induce a formation of densely packed strings of magnetic particles or even sheafs of several strings (spindles). Here we show that in a sufficiently strong magnetic field, more complex aggregates of…

A collective spin model is used to describe two species of mutually interacting ultracold bosonic atoms confined to a toroidal trap. The system is modeled by a Hamiltonian that can be split into two components, a linear part and a quadratic…

In this work, we introduce a three-stroke quantum engine with a single-qubit work-ing substance whose cycle consists of two strokes arise due to performing two distinctgeneral quantum measurements and it is completed by thermalization…

We study the interplay between collective and incoherent single-particle motion in a model of two chains of particles whose interaction comprises a non-integrable part. In the perturbative regime, but for a general form of the interaction,…

Using a composite fermion picture, we study the lateral transport between two two-dimensional electron gases, at filling factor 1/2, separated by a potential barrier. In the mean field approximation, composite fermions far from the barrier…

The study of thermal heat engines was pivotal to establishing the principles of equilibrium thermodynamics, with implications far wider than only engine optimization. For nonequilibrium systems, which by definition dissipate energy even at…

We establish a one-to-one correspondance between the ''composite particles'' with $N$ particles and the Young tableaux with at most $N$ rows. We apply this correspondance to the models of Calogero-Sutherland and Ruijsenaars-Schneider and we…

The Composite Particles Model (CPM) is characterized by composite Higgs, composite top quark, cancelation of the scalar leading quadratic divergences, and a particular ground state such that top anti-top channel is neither attractive or…

A quantum Otto heat engine is studied with multilevel identical particles trapped in one-dimensional box potential as working substance. The symmetrical wave function for Bosons and the anti-symmetrical wave function for Fermions are…

Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically, at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematical physics over the last 300 years has tended to make their…
