Superadiabatic quantum friction suppression in finite-time thermodynamics (1711.00650v1)
Published 2 Nov 2017 in cond-mat.quant-gas, physics.atom-ph, and quant-ph
Abstract: Optimal performance of thermal machines is reached by suppressing friction. Friction in quantum thermodynamics results from fast driving schemes that generate nonadiabatic excitations. The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of quantum devices can be tailored by shortcuts to adiabaticity to suppress quantum friction. We experimentally demonstrate friction-free superadiabatic strokes with a trapped unitary Fermi gas as a working substance and establish the equivalence between the superadiabatic mean work and its adiabatic value.
