Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

AIM OF THE COURSE
On the mesoscopic level, thermodynamic engines need to operate in a completely different regime than their well-known macroscopic counterparts.
Investigating these new concepts is part of the broader field of stochastic and quantum thermodynamics.

The goal of this course is to provide the underlying principles of this field. It will enable you to understand some of its open questions and current literature. The course will put an emphasis on connecting the theoretical concepts with state-of-the-art experiments.

OUTLINE OF THE COURSE

Thermodynamics at the macroscopic scale
Principles of stochastic thermodynamics
Fluctuation theorems
Experiments on classical stochastic engines
From stochastic to quantum thermodynamics
Quantum entropy production and measurement of work
Quantum heat engines
Work extraction and engines with batteries
Thermodynamics of computation

METHODS

The course follows parts of the provided textbook (see Reading list) with significant additions from online lectures and scientific articles that are provided in the course, that will enable you to prepare and revisit the lectures.
The major part of the content of the course will be presented by the lecturer partially in a flipped classroom style, partially as classic lecture (blackboard/slides) with ample time for questions and discussions in either case.
Home exercises will enable you to test your understanding and actively work with the new concepts. Literature assignments relate the learned concepts to the current literature and our joint discussions are also meant to train your skills in efficiently processing their content.
The modality of the course (online/personal/hybrid) will be according to the university regulations for the CoVID pandemic.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Equal weighing between all grades (at least 2) acquired throughout the course.
This may be

1) Exercise attempts handed in (optional)
2) oral exam at the end (compulsory)
3) presentation(s) of exercises or article summaries (optional)

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

There are two requirements to pass the course
1) With positive evaluation:
One presentation of an exercise solution
OR presentation of a brief scientific article summary
OR handing in the exercises (reasonable attempt)
2) Pass the oral exam at the end of the course

Optional grading for handing in exercises:
(1) 89% - 100%
(2) 76% - 88%
(3) 63% - 75%
(4) 50% - 62%
