In this project, we are interested in the effect of Non-Classical as well as Non-Linear resources from Thermodynamic perspectives, namely, in Work Extraction, Enhancement of Efficiency of Heat engines, etc., and thereby, developing comprehensive Thermodynamic Laws for Microscopic Systems. Moreover, our aim will also be to generate the Standard Laws of (Classical) Thermodynamics via the well-known ways of Quantum-to-Classical Transition.
In order to achieve these goals, our aim is to formulate Thermodynamic Laws for Open Quantum systems -- both for weak as well as strong System-Bath interactions, so that a unified approach for these types of interactions may be developed. As a part of this process, we would like to consider, in particular, Collision Models of heat baths with an aim for their realizations via Light-Matter interactions. This, in turn, will help us to model different Quantum Heat Engines and/or refrigerators -- useful test-beds for verification of laws of Quantum Thermodynamics.
