Quantum optimal control, a toolbox for devising and implementing the shapes of external
fields that accomplish given tasks in the operation of a quantum device in the best way …

Chiral materials have attracted significant research interests as they exhibit intriguing
physical properties, such as chiral optical response, spin-momentum locking, and chiral …

We investigate the energetic advantage of accelerating a quantum harmonic oscillator Otto
engine by use of shortcuts to adiabaticity (for the expansion and compression strokes) and …

Based on the existing model of an irreversible magnetohydrodynamic cycle, this paper uses
finite time thermodynamic theory and multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II), introduces …

A Bernoulli trial describing the escape behavior of a lamb to a safe haven in pursuit by a lion
is studied under restarts. The process ends in two ways: either the lamb makes it to the safe …

Heat transformers, also referred to as temperature boosters, draw considerable attention for
the great potential in exploiting low-grade thermal energy. In this paper, a generic model of …

We examine the performance of a finite-time, endoreversible Otto heat engine with a
working medium of monolayer or multilayered graphene subjected to an external magnetic …

We provide numerical evidence of the Nagaoka's theorem in the SU (N) Fermi-Hubbard
model on various cluster geometries, such as the square, the honeycomb, and the triangular …

Enantiomers are chiral molecules that exist in right-handed and left-handed conformations.
Optical techniques of enantiomers' detection are widely employed to discriminate between …

We present a detailed study of an asymmetrically driven quantum Otto engine with a time-
dependent harmonic oscillator as its working medium. We obtain analytic expressions for …
