• Abstract: Finding principles of nonequilibrium self-organization in dissipative quantum systems is an open problem. One example is the notion of quantum dissipative adaptation (QDA), that relates the transition probability between the ground states of a quantum system to the nonequilibrium work absorbed during the transition. However, QDA has been originally derived with three-level systems in lambda ({\Lambda}) configuration. Here, we consider a model consisting of a two-site system driven by single-photon pulses. We find that the absorbed work is generally related to the sum of {\Lambda}-type transition probabilities, instead of the direct transition probability between the two ground states. Although this is equivalent to standard QDA in most scenarios, we find an exception whereby optimal self-organization does not maximize work consumption. We show how quantum coherence leaves this kind of imprint in the energetics of self-organization in the present model.

• Energetics of Fano coherence generation [0.0]
  Fano coherences are quantum coherences formed when an incoherent source vanishes. In this paper we certify the presence of genuinely quantum traits underlying the generation of Fano coherences. We also show the existence of nonequilibrium regimes where the generation of Fano coherences leads to a non-negligible amount of extractable work.

• Non-destructively probing the thermodynamics of quantum systems with qumodes [0.6144680854063939]
  In quantum systems there is often a destruction of the system itself due to the means of measurement. One approach to circumventing this is the use of ancillary probes that couple to the system under investigation. We highlight means by which continuous variable quantum modes (qumodes) can be employed to probe the thermodynamics of quantum systems in and out of equilibrium.
