Quantum measurement spintronic engine powered by quantum coherence enhanced by bosonic catalysis

M Lamblin, M Bowen - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Quantum information engines can advantageously convert information into work, usually
through a feedback mechanism operated by a Maxwell demon. In principle, this opens …

Quantum thermodynamic pump driven by Maxwell's demon

T Fu, J Du, S Su, G Su, J Chen - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2021 - Springer
