Quantum and classical dynamics of a three-mode absorption refrigerator

Stefan Nimmrichter, Jibo Dai, Alexandre Roulet +1 more

We study the quantum and classical evolution of a system of three harmonic modes interacting via a trilinear Hamiltonian. With the modes prepared in thermal states of different temperatures, this model describes the working principle of an absorption refrigerator that transfers energy from a cold to a hot environment at the expense of free energy provided by a high-temperature work reservoir. Inspired by a recent experimental realization with trapped ions, we elucidate key features of the coupling Hamiltonian that are relevant for the refrigerator performance. The coherent system dynamics exhibits rapid effective equilibration of the mode energies and correlations, as well as a transient enhancement of the cooling performance at short times. We find that these features can be fully reproduced in a classical framework.

Chiral-coupling-assisted refrigeration in trapped ions

Chi‐Chih Chen, Yi-Cheng Wang, Chun-Che Wang +1 more

Abstract Trapped ions can be cooled close to their motional ground state, which is imperative in implementing quantum computation and quantum simulation. Here, we theoretically investigate the capability of light-mediated chiral couplings between ions to enable a superior cooling scheme exceeding the single-ion limit of sideband cooling. Under asymmetric driving, the target ion manifests the chiral-coupling-assisted refrigeration at the price of heating others, where its steady-state phonon occupation outperforms the lower bound set by a single ion. We further explore the optimal operation conditions for the refrigeration where a faster rate of cooling can still be sustained. Under an additional nonguided decay channel, a broader parameter regime emerges to support the superior cooling and carries over into the reciprocal coupling, suppressing the heating effect instead. Our results present a tunable resource of collective chiral couplings which can help surpass the bottleneck of the cooling procedure and open up new possibilities in applications of trapped-ion-based quantum computation and simulation.
