Here with exact calculations, we demonstrate this in a two-level quantum system that is in contact with a thermal reservoir.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-02-11T18:08:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "two-level quantum system", "faster uphill relaxation", "equi-distant temperature quenches", "thermal relaxation process", "exact calculations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
