Thermodynamic quantum Fokker–Planck equations and their application to thermostatic Stirling engine

Abstract:We developed a computer code for the thermodynamic quantum Fokker–Planck equations (T-QFPE), derived from a thermodynamic system–bath model. This model consists of an anharmonic subsystem coupled to multiple Ohmic baths at different temperatures, which are connected to or disconnected from the subsystem as a function of time. The code numerically integrates the T-QFPE and their classical expression to simulate isothermal, isentropic, thermostatic, and entropic processes in both quantum and classical cases. The… Show more
