Progress in Refrigeration to Ultralow Temperatures

Frank Pobell

Although in terms of degrees, temperatures extremely close to absolute zero were achieved many years ago, the struggle to attain ever lower temperatures continues.

Quantum refrigerators in quest of the absolute zero

Ronnie Kosloff, Eitan Geva, Jeffrey M. Gordon

The second and third laws of thermodynamics can be used to establish a fundamental bound for the maximum possible cooling rate in approaching the absolute zero of temperature. In modeling the behavior of the molecular refrigerators geared toward attaining ultralow temperatures, only quantum mechanical, as opposed to classical physics, models can be admissible. As a simple model, we analyze a three-level quantum refrigerator, and in particular its irreversible thermodynamic performance as absolute zero is approached.

Dynamical Casimir effect and minimal temperature in quantum thermodynamics

Giuliano Benenti, G. Strini

We study the fundamental limitations of cooling to absolute zero for a qubit, interacting with a single mode of the electromagnetic field. Our results show that the dynamical Casimir effect, which is unavoidable in any finite-time thermodynamic cycle, forbids the attainability of the absolute zero of temperature, even in the limit of an infinite number of cycles.
