具有反退相干作用的麦克斯韦妖

Maxwell demon with anti-decoherence

Zi-Yan Zhang, Jian-Ying Du, Fu-Lin Zhang

AI总结:

本文利用两个耦合量子比特作为奥托热机工作物质,提出相互测量可增强相干性,从而将负功输出转变为正功,并以麦克斯韦妖图像解释其机制。

摘要:

处于纯态的复合系统的子系统通常处于混合态,并随整体状态的变化而变化。这一现象源于整个系统的相干性,是量子系统与经典系统之间的一个关键区别。这种量子特性能够提升奥托热机的功输出,其中两个耦合的量子比特作为工作物质,使得原本初始出现负功输出的情形现在能够产生正功。我们借助麦克斯韦妖的图像来解释该奥托循环中产生正功的原因,将其归因于两个子系统相互测量之后相干性的增强。相反,量子测量-擦除循环通常输出负功,这归因于测量过程中仪器的退相干。

英文摘要:

Subsystems of a composite system in a pure state generally exist in mixed states and undergo changes with the overall state. This phenomenon arises from the coherence of the entire system and represents a crucial distinction between quantum and classical systems. Such a quantum property can enhance the work of an Otto heat engine, where two coupled qubits serve as the working substance, allowing situations in which negative work output initially occurred to now yield positive work. We utilize the imagery of Maxwell's demon to explain the reason for positive work in this Otto cycle, attributing it to the increased coherence after the mutual measurement of the two subsystems. Conversely, the quantum measurement-erase cycle typically outputs negative work, attributed to the decoherence of the instrument during the measurement process.
