论文摘要
我们通过查看完成的热力学工作来研究初始量子相干性在某些参数外部控制产生的相干过程中的作用。我们首先要参加考试状态,然后分离出来自能量本征态量子相干性的麦内型的贡献。它显示与连贯性通过不等式的量子相对熵有关,该不平等涉及与初始状态相关的完全被动状态。最后,我们将分析扩展到一般的平衡过程,并展示了如何在工作统计数据中考虑初始量子相干性的影响。
We study the role of the initial quantum coherence in coherent processes generated by an external control of some parameters by looking on the thermodynamic work done. We start by taking in exam an active state and we isolate the contribution to the ergotropy coming from the quantum coherence among the energy eigenstates. It is shown to be related to the quantum relative entropy of coherence through an inequality which involves the completely passive state connected to the initial state. Finally, we extend the analysis to a general out-of-equilibrium process and we show how to take in account in the statistics of work the effects of the initial quantum coherence.
