Project description
Research explores thermoelectric transport in entangled systems
Exploring novel thermoelectric properties in quantum systems holds immense potential for sustainable energy technologies and quantum information. To advance this field, the EATTS project, led by researchers at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, will collaborate with international research groups. Funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, researchers will focus on thermoelectric phenomena mediated by entangled electrons across various quantum systems. Using quantum information techniques and advanced theoretical frameworks, researchers aim to elucidate the relationship among entanglement, system-environment interactions and thermoelectric performance. The systems under study will be double quantum dots and Cooper pair splitters. Researchers will also extend density functional theory to enhance computational descriptions, which should guide experimental efforts in selecting promising materials.
Objective
"In the proposed project ""Entanglement-Assisted Thermoelectric Transport in Quantum Systems"" (EATTS), the European Researcher Dr. Nahual Sobrino, together with Prof. Rosario Fazio at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), will collaborate with international research groups to unveil innovative thermoelectric properties that hold transformative potential for sustainable energy technologies, quantum information science, and the development of advanced quantum materials. The project's objectives will concentrate on the exploration of thermoelectric phenomena mediated by entangled electrons across a variety of quantum systems. A comprehensive theoretical and computational framework will be established to explore and enhance thermoelectric performance in systems where electron entanglement plays a pivotal role. Cutting-edge calculations will be performed using sophisticated theoretical frameworks, including Quantum Master Equations (QME), Hierarchical Equation of Motion (HEOM), and quantum information techniques. This will guide to elucidate the intricate relationship between entanglement, system-environment interactions, and thermoelectric performance in Double Quantum Dots (DQD) and Cooper Pair Splitters (CPS) systems. Moreover, the project aims to extend the scope of Density Functional Theory (DFT) to access to entanglement measures in transport scenarios through the development of extensions of iq-DFT. This will facilitate a more efficient computational description of thermoelectric phenomena under the influence of entangled electrons. Additionally, the thermoelectric and entanglement characteristics of multiple diatomic molecules will be investigated by mapping the system into effective Hamiltonian models. The computational framework developed will advance our understanding and serve as a guide for experimental endeavors by selecting promising materials and parameter regimes."
