Thermodynamic Bounds on Precision in Ballistic Multiterminal Transport (2018)
Journal Article
Saito, K., Brandner, K., & Hanazato, T. (2018). Thermodynamic Bounds on Precision in Ballistic Multiterminal Transport. Physical Review Letters, 120(9), Article 090601. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.090601

© 2018 American Physical Society. For classical ballistic transport in a multiterminal geometry, we derive a universal trade-off relation between total dissipation and the precision, at which particles are extracted from individual reservoirs. Remark... Read More about Thermodynamic Bounds on Precision in Ballistic Multiterminal Transport.

Universal Coherence-Induced Power Losses of Quantum Heat Engines in Linear Response (2017)
Journal Article
Brandner, K., Bauer, M., & Seifert, U. (2017). Universal Coherence-Induced Power Losses of Quantum Heat Engines in Linear Response. Physical Review Letters, 119(17), Article 170602. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.170602

© 2017 American Physical Society. We identify a universal indicator for the impact of coherence on periodically driven quantum devices by dividing their power output into a classical contribution and one stemming solely from superpositions. Specializ... Read More about Universal Coherence-Induced Power Losses of Quantum Heat Engines in Linear Response.

Experimental Determination of Dynamical Lee-Yang Zeros (2017)
Journal Article
Brandner, K., Maisi, V. F., Pekola, J. P., Garrahan, J. P., & Flindt, C. (2017). Experimental Determination of Dynamical Lee-Yang Zeros. Physical Review Letters, 118(18), Article 180601. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.118.180601

Statistical physics provides the concepts and methods to explain the phase behavior of interacting many-body systems. Investigations of Lee-Yang zeros - complex singularities of the free energy in systems of finite size - have led to a unified unders...

Thermodynamics of micro- and nano-systems driven by periodic temperature variations (2015)
Journal Article
Seifert, U., Brandner, K., & Saito, K. (2015). Thermodynamics of micro- and nano-systems driven by periodic temperature variations. Physical Review X, 5(3), Article 031019. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.5.031019

We introduce a general framework for analyzing the thermodynamics of small systems that are driven by both a periodic temperature variation and some external parameter modulating their energy. This setup covers, in particular, periodic micro- and nan... Read More about Thermodynamics of micro- and nano-systems driven by periodic temperature variations.

Classical Nernst engine (2014)
Journal Article
Brandner, K., Saito, K., Stark, J., & Seifert, U. (2014). Classical Nernst engine. Physical Review Letters, 112(14), Article 140601. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.112.140601

We introduce a simple model for an engine based on the Nernst effect. In the presence of a magnetic field, a vertical heat current can drive a horizontal particle current against a chemical potential. For a microscopic model invoking classical partic... Read More about Classical Nernst engine.
