DESCRIPTION:Title: Thermodynamic Geometry of Microscopic Heat Engines\nby Kay Br
andner (University of Nottingham) as part of Quarantine Thermo\n\n\nAbstra
ct\nFriction is a ubiquitous phenomenon that hinders the performance of th
ermal machines across all length and energy scales. Here\, we explore this
effect from the perspective of thermodynamic geometry. We develop a gener
al framework that uses the concept of thermodynamic length to quantify fri
ction-like energy losses in microscopic heat engines driven by slow period
ic temperature variations and external control fields. Covering both the c
lassical and the quantum regime\, this approach leads to a universal optim
ization principle and a new trade-off relation between power and efficienc
y. These results follow solely from geometric arguments and hold for any t
hermodynamically consistent microdynamics. Focusing on Lindblad dynamics\,
we derive a second bound showing that coherence as a genuine quantum effe
ct inevitably reduces the performance of slow engine cycles regardless of
the driving amplitudes. We demonstrate the practical applicability of our
theory by using it to optimize the performance of a single-qubit heat engi
ne\, which lies within the range of current solid-state technologies. \n\n

uantum imaginary time evolution\nby Mario Motta (IBM Research – Alma
den\, 650 Harry Road\, San Jose\, California 95120-6099) as part of Quaran
tine Thermo\n\n\nAbstract\nThe accurate computation of Hamiltonian ground
and excited states on quantum computers stands to impact many problems in
the physical and computer sciences\, from quantum simulation to machine le
arning. Given the challenges posed in constructing large-scale quantum com
puters\, these tasks should be carried out in a resource-efficient way. We
recently introduced [1] the quantum imaginary time evolution and quantum
Lanczos algorithms\, which are analogues of classical algorithms for findi
ng ground and excited states. Compared with their classical counterparts\,
they require exponentially less space and time per iteration\, and can be
implemented without deep circuits and ancillae\, or high-dimensional opti
mizations. We discuss applications to spins and fermions.\n\n[1] M. Motta\
