We present a thermodynamic analysis of a quantum engine that uses a single quantum particle as its working fluid, inspired by Szilard's classical single-particle engine. Our design is modeled after the classically-chaotic Szilard Map and…
Bose-Einstein condensates are suitable systems for studying fundamental aspects of quantum backreaction. Here the backreaction problem in 1D condensates is considered from the perspective of energy and momentum conservation. By assuming the…
The key question of this paper is whether work can be extracted from a heat engine by using purely quantum mechanical information. If the answer is yes, what is its mathematical formula? First, by using a bipartite memory we show that the…
We investigate thermodynamics of feedback processes driven by measurement. Regarding system and memory device as a composite system, mutual information as a measure of correlation between the two constituents contributes to the entropy of…
Can quantum mechanical thermodynamic engines outperform their classical counterparts? To address one aspect of this question, we experimentally realize and characterize an isentropic thermodynamic engine that uses a Bose-condensed working…
The standard relations between information theory and thermodynamics are challenged. The Szilard engine is revisited and the bound proposed by Landauer is replaced by a different one which includes errors in information processing. Instead…
By considering level shifting during the insertion process we revisit the quantum Szilard engine (QSZE) with fully quantum consideration. We derive the general expressions of the heat absorbed from thermal bath and the total work done to…
We study the quantum mechanical generalization of force or pressure, and then we extend the classical thermodynamic isobaric process to quantum mechanical systems. Based on these efforts, we are able to study the quantum version of…
We study a confined mixture of bosons and fermions in the regime of quantal degeneracy, with particular attention to the effects of the interactions on the kinetic energy of the fermionic component. We are able to explore a wide region of…
Brooding over bosons, wave packets and Bose - Einstein correlations, we present a generic quantum mechanical system that contains arbitrary number of bosons characterized by wave-packets and that can undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation…
We consider composite bosons (cobosons) comprised of two elementary particles, fermions or bosons, in an entangled state. First, we show that the effective number of cobosons implies the level of correlation between the two constituent…
We implement a Szilard engine using a 2-bit logical unit consisting of inductively coupled quantum flux parametrons (QFPs) -- Josephson-junction superconducting circuits with applications in both the classical and quantum information…
We present the positron coupled cluster singles and doubles (POS-CCSD) method to calculate positron binding energies in molecules. This framework treats electrons and positrons on an equal footing and includes up to simultaneous…
Isothermal information engines operate by extracting net work from a single heat bath through measurement and feedback control. In this work, we analyze a realistic active Szilard engine operating on a single active particle by means of…
Coherent bosonic ensembles offer the promise of harnessing quantum effects in photonic and quantum circuits. In the dynamic equilibrium regime, the application of polariton condensates is hindered by exciton-polariton scattering induced…
Boson-Fermion models of superconductivity are getting attention as they are able to explain some of the high temperature superconductor's properties. Here we report on the condensation energy of a 3D non-interacting mixture of paired…
We report experimental signals of Bose-Einstein condensation in the decay of hot Ca projectile-like sources produced in mid-peripheral collisions at sub-Fermi energies. The experimental setup, constituted by the coupling of the INDRA 4$\pi$…
We explore the potential of a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate for thermodynamic cycles. For this purpose we propose a quantum heat engine based on a condensate with spin-orbit and Zeeman coupling as a working medium. The cooling…
Interacting mixtures of bosons and fermions are ubiquitous in nature. They form the backbone of the standard model of physics, provide a framework for understanding quantum materials and are of technological importance in helium dilution…
We review recent studies of a colloidal information engine that consists of a bead in water and held by an optical trap. The bead is ratcheted upward without any apparent external work, by taking advantage of favorable thermal fluctuations.…
