Time-Resolved Stochastic Dynamics of Quantum Thermal Machines

Author(s): Abhaya S. Hegde, Patrick P. Potts, and Gabriel T. Landi Steady-state quantum thermal machines are typically characterized by a continuous flow of heat between different reservoirs. However, at the level of discrete stochastic realizations, heat flow is unraveled as a series of abrupt quantum jumps, each representing an exchange of finite quanta with the … [Phys. Rev.
