• Abstract

  Recent advances in the coherent control of microscopic systems have allowed, for the first time, to explore the use of genuinely quantum mechanical resources, such as coherence and entanglement, in a broad range of tasks. In particular, recent results have shown that the use of these resources within a thermodynamic context may lead to sizable advantages in the operation of micro and meso…

• Abstract

  In this project we propose to establish a collaboration between the Universities of São Paulo, Nottingham and Birmingham, aimed at investigating informational and thermodynamic aspects of quantum systems described by continuous variables and their applications to quantum technologies. In particular, the proposal will focus on the quantification of irreversibility phenomena in non-equilibr…

• Abstract

  Traditionally, thermodynamics has been applied almost exclusively to macroscopic (and thus classical) systems. However, recently it has been recently realized that it can be used to provide a new way of assessing and exploiting dynamics occurring at the microscopic scale, where thermal fluctuations start competing with quantum effects. Such interplay, which makes necessary a fundamental r…

• Abstract

  Recent decades have witnessed a revolution in the experimental control of coherent quantum systems. One of the major potential applications this opens is in the field of sensing and metrology, with examples ranging from magnetometry to thermometry. This project will be centered around the idea of stroboscopic metrology in systems that are continuously measured. Sensors already often emplo…

• Abstract

  The physics of systems out of equilibrium is one of the most widely researched topics nowadays. One of the interesting aspects of such problems is that it brings into light links between topics thus far considered disconnected. This is the case of the so-called critical Rabi model. The Rabi model was originally introduced in the context of atomic physics and describes the interaction betw…

• Abstract

  Irreversibility represents one of the most enigmatic concepts in thermodynamics. The laws of motion, such as Newtons law or Schrödingers equation, are all invariant under time reversal. However, when we deal with macroscopic objects, we find that their behavior is irreversible. The solution to this paradox comes from the interpretation of irreversibility as an emergent phenomenon, which a…

• Abstract

  This research proposal concerns a one year visit of Prof. Landi to the group of Prof. Goold at Trinity College, Dublin. The two groups already have several common research interests and have been active collaborators for over a year. The goal of this proposal is to consolidate a recently opened front of collaborative research dealing with the connection between thermodynamic uncertainty r…

• Abstract

  The concept of irreversibility is among the most important in thermodynamics. Even though they have been developed initially for macroscopic systems, there is currently a great effort from the scientific community in extending these ideas to micro and mesoscopic systems. However, despite recent advances, there are still several open questions. The main problem to be studied in this projec…
