@Nat. Comm. Physics: Assessing physical realism experimentally in a quantum-controlled device
Bohr’s complementarity principle has been challenged by quantum delayed-choice experiments wherein quantum systems are claimed to behave...
@PRL Experimental Validation of Fully Quantum Fluctuation Theorems
Fluctuation theorems are fundamental extensions of the second law of thermodynamics for small systems. Their general validity arbitrarily...
@PRL Easy Access to Energy Fluctuations
A new article combined theoretical and experimental efforts to propose a method for studying energy fluctuations, in particular, to...
@PRL Quantum engine operating at maximum power
A new experimental proof-of-concept quantum Otto cycle, using nuclear spins, has reached an efficiency close to its thermodynamic limit...
@ Nature Communications: Reversion of heat flow using quantum correlations
Irreversibility is a longstanding puzzle in physics. While microscopic laws of motion are invariant under time reversal, all macroscopic...
Tiago Batalhão awarded the CAPES Best Thesis Prize
Dr Tiago Batalhão (PhD student) was awarded the best thesis Grand Prize in Natural Sciences and Engineering 2017 afforded by CAPES and...
@PRL Maxwell’s Demon Meets Nonequilibrium Quantum Thermodynamics
A new implementation of a Maxwell’s demon can control entropy production in a quantum-mechanical system that is driven out of thermal...
@PRL Irreversibility and the emergence of the arrow of time in quantum systems
Entropy production, a quantity associated with the emergence of the arrow of time, has been successfully measured in a microscopic...
New two-way quantum-key-distribution prototocol
Within the broad research scenario of quantum secure communication, two-way quantum-key-distribution (TWQKD) is a relatively new proposal...
