Recently my interests focus on the quantum thermodynamics, especially the microsystem which is embed in a non-equilibrium or fluctuation dominated environment. For example, via the polaron transform technic, we solved the efficiency of a three-level quantum heat engine which is subject to a strongly coupled non-equilibrium environment. Currently, I am studying the thermodynamics of a quantum open system which is subjected to time-dependent control. I also interested in applying the concepts of small system thermodynamics into the realistic quantum systems, such as cavity-QED, circuit-QED and optomechanics.
