Quantum Thermodynamics at Strong Coupling: Operator Thermodynamic Functions and Relations [PDF]
Entropy, 2018 Identifying or constructing a fine-grained microscopic theory that will emerge under specific conditions to a known macroscopic theory is always a formidable challenge.

Quantum Thermodynamics: A Dynamical Viewpoint [PDF]
Entropy, 2013 Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum mechanics. The viewpoint advocated is based on the intimate connection of quantum thermodynamics with the theory of open quantum systems. Quantum mechanics inserts dynamics

Coherence and measurement in quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Thermodynamics is a highly successful macroscopic theory widely used across the natural sciences and for the construction of everyday devices, from car engines and fridges to power plants and solar cells. With thermodynamics predating quantum theory, research now aims to uncover the thermodynamic laws that govern finite size systems which may in ...

Gauge-Invariant Quantum Thermodynamics: Consequences for the First Law [PDF]
EntropyThe universality of classical thermodynamics rests on the central limit theorem, due to which, measurements of thermal fluctuations are unable to reveal detailed information regarding the microscopic structure of a macroscopic body.

Non-hermitian quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractThermodynamics is the phenomenological theory of heat and work. Here we analyze to what extent quantum thermodynamic relations are immune to the underlying mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. As a main result, we show that the Jarzynski equality holds true for all non-hermitian quantum systems with real spectrum.

Thermodynamically free quantum measurements [PDF]
J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 55 (2022) 505304, 2022 Thermal channels -- the free processes allowed in the resource theory of quantum thermodynamics -- are generalised to thermal instruments, which we interpret as implementing thermodynamically free quantum measurements; a Maxwellian demon using such measurements never violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Perspective on quantum thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2016 Classical thermodynamics is unrivalled in its range of applications and relevance to everyday life. It enables a description of complex systems, made up of microscopic particles, in terms of a small number of macroscopic quantities, such as work and ...

The second laws of quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 Significance In ordinary thermodynamics, transitions are governed by a single quantity–the free energy. Its monotonicity is a formulation of the second law. Here, we find that the second law for microscopic or highly correlated systems takes on a very different form than it does at the macroscopic scale, imposing not just one constraint on ...
