- Title: Quantum dissipative adaptation
- Authors: Daniel Valente, Frederico Brito and Thiago Werlang
- Abstract summary: Dissipative adaptation is a general thermodynamic mechanism that explains self-organization in a broad class of driven classical many-body systems.
We employ a fully-quantized exactly solvable model, where the source of work on a three-level system is a single-photon pulse added to a zero-temperature infinite environment.
We find a set of equalities relating adaptation likelihood, absorbed work, heat dissipation and variation of the informational entropy of the environment.

- Abstract: Dissipative adaptation is a general thermodynamic mechanism that explains
self-organization in a broad class of driven classical many-body systems. It
establishes how the most likely (adapted) states of a system subjected to a
given drive tend to be those following trajectories of highest work absorption,
followed by dissipated heat to the reservoir. Here, we extend the dissipative
adaptation phenomenon to the quantum realm. We employ a fully-quantized exactly
solvable model, where the source of work on a three-level system is a
single-photon pulse added to a zero-temperature infinite environment, a
scenario that cannot be treated by the classical framework. We find a set of
equalities relating adaptation likelihood, absorbed work, heat dissipation and
variation of the informational entropy of the environment. Our proof of
principle provides the starting point towards a quantum thermodynamics of
driven self-organization.

Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths.
We show that within the same model, the environment can take three different thermodynamic roles.

In classical thermodynamics energy always flows from the hotter system to the colder one.
If these systems are initially correlated, the energy flow can reverse, making the cold system colder and the hot system hotter.
This intriguing phenomenon is called anomalous energy flow'' and shows the importance of initial correlations in determining physical properties of thermodynamic systems.

We find some lifelike behaviours and functionalities in elementary dissipative quantum systems driven out of equilibrium.
Specifically, we find both energy-avoiding (low steady dissipation) and energy-seeking behaviours (high steady dissipation)
We also find emergent functionalities, namely, a self-organized thermal gradient in the system's environment (in the energy-seeking mode) and an active equilibration against thermal gradients (in the energy-avoiding mode)
