Irreversible work reduction by disorder in many-body quantum systems

We study the effect of disorder on work exchange associated with quantum Hamiltonian processes by considering an Ising spin chain in which the strength of coupling between spins are randomly drawn from either Normal or Gamma distributions. The chain is subjected to a quench of the external transvers...
