Revealing the Work Cost of Generalized Thermal Baths

Revealing the Work Cost of Generalized Thermal Baths

We derive the work cost of using generalized thermal baths from the physical equivalence of quantum mechanics under unitary transformations. We demonstrate our method by considering a qubit extracting work from a single bath to amplify a cavity field. There, we find that only half of the work invest...
