Théorique, numérique
The booming field of quantum thermodynamics analysis quantum signatures in work and heat flows, the performances of quantum heat engines and derive fundamental constraints on quantum dynamics. The goals of this theory project is to develop a new methodology able to explore the "coherent dissipative" regime of quantum open systems, where large deviations from classical thermodynamic behavior are expected, but which is not well captured by existing methodologies. Applications will cover quantum heat engines and different situations of experimental relevance, in connexion with experimentalists. This Master project can be followed by a PhD funded by the ERC Starting grant project "QARNOT".
