Bath Engineering Enhanced Quantum Critical Engines
TL;DR: In this article , a bath-engineered quantum engine (BEQE) is proposed to enhance the performance of finite-time quantum engines operating close to quantum phase transitions, in which the Kibble-Zurek mechanism and critical scaling laws are used to formulate a protocol for enhancing the performance.
Exactly Solvable 1D Quantum Models with Gamma Matrices
TL;DR: In this paper , a generalization of 1D quantum XY and Ising-like models by using 2D-dimensional Gamma (Γ) matrices as the degrees of freedom on each site is presented.
Improving Performance of Quantum Heat Engines by Free Evolution
TL;DR: In this article , the authors modify one of the unitary strokes of the cycle by allowing the system to evolve freely with a particular Hamiltonian till a time so that the system reaches a less excited state.

Adiabatic dynamics of quasiperiodic transverse Ising model
B S Revathy,Uma Divakaran +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the non-equilibrium dynamics due to slowly taking a quasiperiodic Hamiltonian across its quantum critical point and verify the Kibble Zurek scaling which predicts a power law scaling of the density of defects generated as a function of the rate of variation of the Hamiltonian.

Critical behaviour of mixed random fibers, fibers on a chain and random graph
Uma Divakaran,Amit Dutta +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a random fiber bundle model (RFBM) with different threshold strength distributions and load sharing rules is introduced, and the dependence of the critical stress of the above model on the measure of the discontinuity of the distribution is extensively studied.
