• Abstract: Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) arise from the bounds on fluctuations of thermodynamics quantities during a non-equilibrium process and they impose constraints on the corresponding process. We experimentally implement a quantum SWAP engine on a nuclear magnetic resonance setup and demonstrate that a Gibbs thermal state can be prepared in two different ways, either directly from a thermal equilibrium state, or by first initializing the system in a pseudopure state. We show that the quantum SWAP engine can work both as a heat engine and as a refrigerator. Starting from a pseudopure state, we construct the SWAP engine, and investigate the violation of two different TURs, namely a generalized TUR and a tighter, more specific TUR. Our results validate that the generalized TUR is obeyed in all the working regimes of the SWAP engine, while the tighter TUR is violated in certain regimes. ~

  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. The exact role of the environment is determined by the strength and structure of the coupling.

We draw a connection between our TURs and the existence of correlations between the entropy production and the thermodynamic quantity under consideration.

  In the nondegenerate case, we consider two slightly different configurations of three-level maser heat engine. In the high-temperature limit, standard TUR relation is always violated for both configurations. For the degenerate four level engine, we study the effects of noise-induced coherence on TUR.

  Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) represent one of the few broad-based and fundamental relations in our toolbox for tackling the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems. We show how TURs are rooted in the quantum uncertainty principles and the fluctuation-dissipation inequalities (FDI) under fully nonequilibrium conditions.

  Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments. We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion. Having multiple internal levels, we show that multiple reservoirs can be engineered, allowing for more efficient synthesis of well-known non-classical states of motion.

  Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically, at the expense of an external disequilibrium. Recent advances in the theory of open quantum systems point to a more realistic description of autonomous engines. We show how the external loading force and the thermal noise may be incorporated into the relevant equations of motion.

One essential question is whether collective effects may help to carry enhancements over larger scales. We study how power, efficiency and constancy scale with the number of spins composing the engine.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
