研究開始時の研究の概要 |
My goal is to discover how uniquely quantum effects, such as many-body correlations induced by interparticle interactions and the emergence of quantum statistics at low temperatures, can be harnessed to give an advantage over classical devices.

研究実績の概要 |
The topic of this research plan is the effect of particle exchange symmetry on the performance of quantum heat engines and quantum batteries. In this past year 5 papers have been published on this project, 2 in Physical Review Research, 2 in Scipost Physics and 1 in Nature.
I highlight 2 of these important works. The first in PRR on developing a variational quantum algorithm to calculate the energy extraction from a quantum battery showed the effect of correlations on this process. It was also the first of its kind to be developed and run on a quantum computer. The second paper in Nature was on the BEC-BCS crossover quantum engine, in which the change of statistics between fermions and bosons allowed to extract work from a purely quantum effect. This was confirmed by the experiment from the Kaiserslautern group who were my collaborators on this project.

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
The first 2 major works of this project have been completed: quantum algorithm for quantum batteries, and the BEC-BCS quantum engine experiment. In the following year I will work on followup works to the quantum battery and quantum heat engine projects. Firstly, one of the main goals of this project: the role of statistics in a quantum battery, particularly the role of symmetrization in work extraction. Most of the data has been collected and the paper is now being written. Secondly, a theory paper looking into the details of statistics enhanced quantum heat engines, focussing on modeling the 1D Lieb-Liniger model and using interactions to control statistics during an engine cycle. The paper is close to being completed.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
After finishing the next two papers outlined above, I plan to start two more followup projects. One is focussing on a p-wave interacting quantum battery and its thermodynamics. Here s-wave interacting bosons can be mapped to p-wave interacting fermions, allowing to quickly get results for single component systems, including quench spectral functions. This will eventually be extended to 2-component systems with mixtures of s-wave and p-wave interactions. The second project will be a focus on heat flow in distinguishable Bose-Bose and Bose-Fermi mixtures. For this I am developing code to describe few-body systems and their heat flow from one system to the other. Statistics will play a role depending on the symmetry of the initial state and their correlations.
