Thermodynamics and quantum effects — •Stefanie Hilt1 and Eric Lutz2 — 1Institut für Quantenphysik, Universität Ulm, Deutschland — 2Institut für Physik, Universität Augsburg, Deutschland
We consider a system coupled to a heat reservoir modelled by a harmonic chain and discuss the influence of quantum effects on the equilibrium properties of the system. Special emphasis is put on the low temperature regime where quantum fluctuations play an important role. In particular, we use the negativity to quantify the entanglement created between the system and the reservoir.
