Symmetry Induced Enhancement in Finite-Time Thermodynamic Trade-Off Relations

Author(s): Ken Funo and Hiroyasu Tajima Symmetry imposes constraints on open quantum systems, affecting the dissipative properties in nonequilibrium processes. Superradiance is a typical example in which the decay rate of the system is enhanced via a collective system-bath coupling that respects permutation symmetry. Such a model has also… [Phys. Rev.
