论文摘要
涉及气体和活塞的思想实验,例如麦克斯韦的恶魔和吉布斯的混合,对于我们对热力学的理解至关重要。在这里,我们提出了一个量子热力学思维实验,其中,从两个光子气体到活塞膜的能量转移,与无法区分的气体的光子数量四倍增长,而可与可区分气体进行线性线性。在光力学实验中可以观察到这种骨束的特征,这突出了这些系统在量子领域中实现热力学思想实验的潜力。
Thought experiments involving gases and pistons, such as Maxwell's demon and Gibbs' mixing, are central to our understanding of thermodynamics. Here we present a quantum thermodynamic thought experiment in which the energy transfer from two photonic gases to a piston membrane grows quadratically with the number of photons for indistinguishable gases, while linearly for distinguishable gases. This signature of Bosonic bunching may be observed in optomechanical experiments, highlighting the potential of these systems for the realisation of thermodynamic thought experiments in the quantum realm.
