• Title: Heat flow and noncommutative quantum mechanics in phase-space
• Authors: Jonas F. G. Santos
• Abstract summary: We show that by controlling the new constants introduced in the quantum theory, due to a deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebra, the heat flow from the hot to the cold system may be enhanced. We also give a brief discussion on the robustness of the second law of thermodynamics in the context of noncommutative quantum mechanics.

• Abstract: In this work, we investigate the heat flow of two interacting quantum systems on the perspective of noncommutativity phase-space effects and show that by controlling the new constants introduced in the quantum theory, due to a deformed Heisenberg-Weyl algebra, the heat flow from the hot to the cold system may be enhanced, thus decreasing the time required to reach thermal equilibrium. We also give a brief discussion on the robustness of the second law of thermodynamics in the context of noncommutative quantum mechanics

  We observe a divergence of thermalization rates of quantum matters when the temperature approaches zero. We find that the quantum coherence and bosonic stimulation of superfluid induces the divergence while the finite temperature and the many-body interactions are suppressing the divergence.

  Quantum thermalization describes how closed quantum systems can effectively reach thermal equilibrium. Despite its ubiquity and conceptual significance, a complete proof of quantum thermalization has remained elusive for several decades. We prove that quantum thermalization must occur in any qubit system with local interactions satisfying three conditions.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.
