First law: is there a thermodynamic description?

HU where H is that part of the total Hamiltonian,that governs the unitary part of (Langevin) dynamics
dWWork: Energy-without-entropy added to the system macroscopic source induces classical functions of time.
dQ The rest: energy-without-work from the bathEnergy related to uncontrollable degrees of freedom
1) Just energy increase of work source2) Gibbs-Planck: energy of macroscopic degree of freedom

Second law for finite quantum systemsNo thermodynamic limit Thermodynamics endangered Different formulations are inequivalent
Generalized Thomson formulation is valid:Cyclic changes on system in Gibbs equilibrium cannot yield work (Pusz+Woronowicz ’78, Lenard’78, A+N ’02.)

Work extraction from finite Q-systems
Thermodynamics: minimize final energy at fixed entropyAssume final state is gibbsian: fix final T from S = const.Extracted work=(free) energy difference U(0)-TS(0)+T log Z(T)

Aspects of ergotropy
- Optimal unitary transformations unitary matrices U(t) do yield, in examples, explicit Hamiltonians for achieving optimal work extraction
-non-gibbsian states can be passive
-Comparison of activities: )()();0();0( SS but UU
Thermodynamic upper bounds: more work possible from But actual work may be largest from
-Coupling to an auxiliary system : if is less active thanThen can be more active than

Are adiabatic processes always optimal?
One of the formulations of the second law:Adiabatic thermally isolated processes done on an equilibrium system are optimal (cost least work or yield most work)
In finite Q-systems: Work larger or equal to free energy difference But adiabatic work is not free energy
difference.A+N, 2003: -No level crossing : adiabatic theorem holds
-Level crossing: solve using adiabatic perturbation theory. Diabatic processes are less costly than adiabatic. Work = new tool to test level crossing.
Level crossing possible if two or more parameters are changed. Review expts on level crossing: Yarkony, Rev Mod Phys 1996

The cavity has one movable mirror, temperature T_c
Volume is set by photon pressure on piston
Coherent atom beam ‘phaseonium’ interacts with photons: bath T_h
Efficiency exceeds Carnot value, due to correlations of atoms

What about Quantum regime? Is QM compatible with such a relation?How should work be defined for small Q-systems?

Summary
New results for thermodynamics of small Q-systems:
-violation of Clausius inequality-optimal extractable work: ergotropy-adiabatic changes non-optimal if level crossing
-correlations enhance efficiency in Q- engines- Q-fluctuation relation
Q-thermodynamics: small system, large work source+bathDifferent formulations of the second law have different ranges of validityExperimental tests feasible e.g. in quantum optics
