Quantum Thermodynamics: An Open System Approach

by Dr. Subhashish Banerjee, IIT Jodhpur

Meeting Room 390, 2nd Floor, Main Building

Abstract:  

I focus on Quantum Thermodynamics from the perspective of Open Quantum Systems. I will discuss, briefly, some well-known characterizers of quantum thermodynamics and the Hamiltonian of Mean Force. These will then be implemented on devices, such as Quantum Battery and Heat Engine, whose underpinnings are provided by Quantum Thermodynamics. For this purpose, Open System Models will be made use of. Finally, a panoramic schematic of quantum thermal analogs of electriccircuits in the steady state regime will be discussed.
