Quantum optomechanical thermodynamics — •David Edward Bruschi — Institute for Quantum Computing Analytics (PGI-12), Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany

Quantum Thermodynamics extends the notions from classical thermodynamics to the quantum regime. Novel features appear, and processes acquire intrinsic probabilistic nature, in the sense that classically forbidden processes can statistically occur at least in principle. Given the advances in quantum technologies, it remains an open question to develop and characterize quantum systems as potential quantum thermal machines.

We propose an extension of the concepts of quantum thermodynamics to optomechanical systems. We study their properties and characterize them as quantum thermal machines. Applications and extensions are discussed in light of quantum technological applications.
