New draft
by Daniel Manzano 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Dear all. Please congratulate Alvaro, Joe, and Michalis for their new draft. Besides, have a look on it and let us know if you have any comments about it. 776kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ arXiv:2502.19019 Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 10:24:57 GMT (2269kb,D) Title: Thermodynamics of Hamiltonian anyons with applications to quantum heat engines Authors: Joe Dunlop, \'Alvaro Tejero, Michalis Skotiniotis, Daniel Manzano Categories: quant-ph cond-mat.stat-mech math-ph math.MP Comments: 21 pages, 11 figures \\ The behavior of a collection of identical particles is intimately linked to the symmetries of their wavefunction under particle exchange. Topological anyons, arising as quasiparticles in low-dimensional systems, interpolate between bosons and fermions, picking up a complex phase when exchanged. Recent research has demonstrated that similar statistical behavior can arise with mixtures of bosonic and fermionic pairs, offering theoretical and experimental simplicity. We introduce an alternative implementation of such statistical anyons, based on promoting or suppressing the population of symmetric states via a symmetry generating Hamiltonian. The scheme has numerous advantages: anyonic statistics emerge in a single particle pair, extending straightforwardly to larger systems; the statistical properties can be dynamically adjusted; and the setup can be simulated efficiently. We show how exchange symmetry can be exploited to improve the performance of heat engines, and demonstrate a reversible work extraction cycle in which bosonization and fermionization replace compression and expansion strokes. Additionally, we investigate emergent thermal properties, including critical phenomena, in large statistical anyon systems. \\ ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.19019__;!!D9dNQwwGXt… , 2269kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DM Sent from my iPhone
