Starting with the Carnot engine, the ideal efficiency of a heat engine has been associated with quasistatic transformations and vanishingly small output power. Here, we exactly calculate the thermodynamic properties of an isothermal heat engine, in which the working medium is a periodically driven underdamped harmonic oscillator, focusing...

By using the worldline Monte Carlo technique, matrix product state, and a variational approach a la Feynman, we investigate the equilibrium properties and relaxation features of the dissipative quantum Rabi model, where a two level system is coupled to a linear harmonic oscillator embedded in a viscous fluid. We show that, in the Ohmic regime,...

In the direct searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) as Dark Matter candidates, the sensitivity of the detector to the incoming particle direction could provide a smoking gun signature for an interesting event. The SCENE collaboration firstly suggested the possible directional dependence of a dual-phase argon Time Projection...
