标题： A universal approach to quantum thermodynamics in the strong coupling regime

摘要： 我们提出了一种协议，用于研究与浴强耦合并受到外部调制的量子系统的动力学和热力学。 我们的协议通过将完整的密度矩阵展开为调制率的幂级数来量化系统-浴复合体的演化，从而可以得到功、热和熵速率的功能形式。 在缓慢驱动下，建立了热力学定律。 熵产生率是正的，并且被发现与摩擦耗散的过剩功有关，至少到驱动速度的二阶。 作为本方法论的一个例子，我们再现了受驱动共振能级模型的量子热力学结果。 我们还强调，我们的形式主义非常通用，允许电子-电子相互作用，这可能导致热力学量中出现奇特的Kondo共振。 显示英文摘要

摘要： We present a protocol for the study of the dynamics and thermodynamics of quantum systems strongly coupled to a bath and subject to an external modulation. Our protocol quantifies the evolution of the system-bath composite by expanding the full density matrix as a series in the powers of the modulation rate, from which the functional form of work, heat and entropy rates can be obtained. Under slow driving, thermodynamic laws are established. The entropy production rate is positive and is found to be related to the excess work dissipated by friction, at least up to second order in the driving speed. As an example of the present methodology, we reproduce the results for the quantum thermodynamics of the driven resonance level model. We also emphasize that our formalism is quite general and allows for electron-electron interactions, which can give rise to exotic Kondo resonances appearing in thermodynamic quantities.
