ENERGETIC TRANSPORT, CORRELATIONS AND THERMODYNAMICS IN OPEN QUANTIC SYSTEMS NANOMETRICS

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Tenerife (NUTS ES709); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 48,400; EU co-financing EUR 41,140 (co-financing rate 85%), as stated by the source. Runs 2014-01-01 to 2017-12-31.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL SMALL-SCALE MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO EXPLORE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES IN QUANTUM PHYSICS. ON A SMALL SCALE, QUANTIC SYSTEMS IN CONTACT WITH THERMAL, MARKOVIAN OR NON-MARKOVIAN ENVIRONMENTS, OR WITH ENVIRONMENTS AWAY FROM EQUILIBRIUM, CONFRONT US WITH NEW THEORIC CHALLENGES LINKED TO THE UNDERSTANDING OF THERMODYNAMIC CHARACTER PROCESSES IN QUANTUM REGIME THAT TAKES PLACE ON THAT SCALE AND ON WHICH THERE IS A GREAT EXPERIMENTAL AND APPLIED INTEREST. THIS PROJECT DEALS, ON THE ONE HAND, WITH THE STUDY OF ENERGY TRANSPORT PROCESSES IN SMALL-SCALE SYSTEMS THAT, BEING IN CONTACT WITH VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTS, ACT AS QUANTUM MACHINES OR, AS IN THE CASE OF TRAPPED IONS, TRANSPORT ENERGY BETWEEN TWO BATHS IN ANOMALY OR NORMAL WAY, DEPENDING ON THE SPATIAL CONFIGURATION OF THE IONS. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PROPERTIES OF DECOHERENCE, RELAXATION AND QUANTUM CORRELATIONS, THEIR PERSISTENCE AND OPTIMISATION, OF QUANTIC SYSTEMS IN INTERACTION WITH OTHER SYSTEMS AND/OR BATHROOMS. THE SYSTEMS IN WHICH THE ISSUES ADDRESSED IN THIS PROJECT ARE STUDIED ARE SIMPLE SYSTEMS THAT ACT AS QUANTIC COOLERS, NANO MECHANICAL OSCILLATORS IN INTERACTION WITH ATOMIC CONDENSATES, TRAPPED ION CHAINS AND GROUPS OF COUPLED OSCILLATORS CONNECTED TO THERMAL ENVIRONMENTS.
