Quantum thermodynamics: Thermodynamics at the nanoscale Armen E. Allahverdyan (Amsterdam/Yerevan) Roger Balian (CEA-Saclay; Academie des Sciences) Theo M. Nieuwenhuizen (University of Amsterdam) Session in memory of Vlada Capek Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics Prague, 26 July 2004
Outline Introduction to quantum thermodynamics (Amsterdam-Paris-Yerevan view). Position of works of Vlada Capek within quantum thermodynamics. First law of thermodynamics: what is work, heat, system energy. Second law: confirmation versus violations. Maximal extractable work from a quantum system. Are adiabatic changes always optimal?
Introduction to quantum thermodynamics Standard thermodynamics: large system + large bath + large work source Classical thermodynamics: of bath only temperature T needed (and timescale for heat exchange) But consider for example: Mesoscopic ring: metal ring with size between micron and nanometer 1/10 000 cm 0. 1 hair 0. 000 1 hair Mesoscopic ring still has many atoms: many degrees of freedom Study the electric current of such a ring at low temperature: one interesting degree of freedom coupled to many uninteresting ones Quantum thermodynamics: small system, large bath, large worksource whole spectral density of coupling to bath needed
System-bath models: small quantum systems + large bath see book Uli Weiss 1993; 1998 Caldeira-Leggett model 1983 (van Kampen’s thesis 1951; Ullersma’s thesis 1965) Spin-boson model: spin ½ + harmonic oscillator bath Leggett model + 10 coauthors: review 1983 Spin ½ : spin up or spin down = two level system Capek models: coupled 2, 3, 4, 5 two-level systems + their baths rich class of models rich amount of physical phenomena

Is there a thermodynamic description? First law: Change in energy = work added + heat added where H is that part of the total Hamiltonian, that governs the unitary part of (Langevin) dynamics Work: Energy-without-entropy added to the system 1) Caratheodory: increase average energy of work source 2) Gibbs-Planck: energy of macroscopic degree of freedom The rest: energy-without-work from the bath Energy related to uncontrollable degrees of freedom
Internal energy in Caldeira-Leggett model Ohm’s law for resistor: V = I R. quasi-Ohmic spectral density Taking together effects of bath yields: Langevin equation for particle _______ Newton force defines system Hamiltonian: ______ Internal energy: U=<H> phonons: b renormalized to a photons: a is the physical parameter
“All” about work Work = change of averge energy of system + bath = minus (change of energy of work source) = time-integral of rate of change of energy of system alone What is special about macroscopic work source? It produces time-dependent parabeters e. g. m(t), b(t), V(t) so it does not enlarge dimension of Hilbert space. Why does the average energy enter this definition? Thermodynamics does not apply to single systems Quantum mechanics does not apply to single systems
The second law of thermodynamics Heat goes from high temperatures to low temperatures No cycles of work from bath (no perpetuum mobile): Thomson formul. Optimal changes are adiabatically slow ation Entropy of closed system cannot decrease Rate of entropy production is non-negative Finite quantum systems: Thermodynamics endangered No thermodynamic limit : Different formulations become inequivalent Some may apply, others not But: Generalized Thomson formulation is valid: Cyclic changes on system in Gibbs equilibrium cannot yield work (Pusz+Woronowicz ’ 78, Lenard’ 78, A+N ’ 02. )
The Linus effect: The cloud goes where Linus goes
The appearence of clouds (“the Linus effect”) In small quantum systems at not very high temperatures a cloud of bath modes surrounds the central particle Kondo cloud, polaron cloud Such clouds must be attributed to bath Not part of standard thermodynamics: new effects in quantum thermo A+N: 2000, 2002 Clausius inequality may be violated Caldeira-Leggett at T = 0: Negative rate of energy dispersion, though starting from equilibrium Out of equilibrium: work extraction cycles constructed (Finite yield) A+N, PRB 02, experiments proposed for mesoscopic circuits J. Phys A 02 expts for quantum optics. Capek: electric currents, heat currents going in “wrong” direction
Work extraction from finite quantum systems Couple to work source and do all possible work extractions Thermodynamics: minimize final energy at fixed entropy Assume final state is gibbsian: fix final T from S = const. But: Quantum mechanics is unitary, So all n eigenvalues conserved: n-1 constraints: (Gibbs state typically unattainable for n>2) Optimal: eigenvectors of become those of H, if ordering Maximally extractable work: ergotropy
ABN, EPL 2004: Properties of ergotropy • Majorization: defines set of states within which thermodynamic relations are satisfied qualitatively. • Other states: all kinds of thermodynamic surprises
Are adiabatic processes always optimal? Minimal work principle (one of the formulations of the second law): Slow thermally isolated processes (“adiabatic processes”) done on an equilibrium system are optimal (cost least work or yield most work) In finite Q-systems: Work larger or equal to free energy difference But adiabatic work is not free energy difference. A+N, 2003: -No level crossing : minimal work principle holds -Level crossing: solve using adiabatic perturbation theory. Diabatic processes are less costly than adiabatic. Work = new tool to test level crossing. Level crossing possible if two or more parameters are changed. Review expts on level crossing: Yarkony, Rev Mod Phys 1996
Summary Q-thermodynamics: small system, macroscopicwork source+bath Different formulations of the second law have different ranges of validity Experimental tests feasible e. g. in quantum optics New results for thermodynamics of small Quantum-systems: -violation of Clausius inequality -optimal extractable work: ergotropy -adiabatic changes non-optimal if level crossing Vada Capek was strong forefighter of Quantum Thermodynamics
