A road to Non-Markovian Quantum Thermodynamics — •Rebecca Schmidt1,2, Sabrina Maniscalco2, and Tapio Ala-Nissilä11CQE and COMP, Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University School of Science, P.O.Box 11100, 00076 Aalto, Finland — 2TCQP, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Turku, FI-20014, Turun Yliopisto, Finland

Common assumptions in the theoretical description of open quantum system dynamics, such as non-Markovianity or perturbative treatments, do not hold for state-of-the-art realisations of mesoscopic quantum devices. There is a need for a consistent description of non-Markovian open quantum dynamics to form the theoretical framework for ongoing and upcoming experiments in quantum thermodynamics. Also, there is evidence that non-Markovianity can be exploited as a resource to enhance the performance of quantum thermodynamic devices [1]. To bridge the gap between an information theoretic and a thermodynamic description, we applied the information theoretic measures of non-Markovianity [2] to the quantum thermodynamic setting of a generic driven Spin-Boson model [3].
