  2. 267. Heat flux and information backflow in cold condensed matter systems

    We examine non-Markovian effects in an open quantum system from the point of view of information flow. To this end, we consider the spin-boson model with a cold reservoir, accounting for the exact time-dependent correlations between the system and the bath to study the exchange of information and heat. We use an information theoretic measure of the relevant memory effects and demonstrate...

  3. 268. Quantum trajectories and hindsight quantum states
    Prof. Klaus Mølmer (Aarhus)

    The state of a quantum system is described by a wavefunction evolving in time according to the Schroedinger equation. If a measurement is carried out on the system, its wave function collapses, i.e., it changes according to the random outcome of the measurement. During a sequence of measurements on a single system, its quantum state thus follows a stochastic trajectory composed of the...

  4. 269. Photonic Maxwell's Demon
    Mr Mihai-Dorian Vidrighin (Oxford)
    28/05/2016, 11:30
    I will present a photonics experiment that can be understood as an example of Maxwell’s demon. In this experiment we showed that a measurement at the few-photons level performed on intense thermal light modes allows, by employing an operation conditional on measurement outcomes, the creation of an intensity unbalance, which we used to extract measurable work into an electric circuit. In...
