Quantum Thermodynamics: A Dynamical Viewpoint

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

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.

Gauge-Invariant Quantum Thermodynamics: Consequences for the First Law [PDF]

Entropy
The 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.

Probing coherent quantum thermodynamics using a trapped ion [PDF]

Nature Communications
Quantum thermodynamics is aimed at grasping thermodynamic laws as they apply to thermal machines operating in the deep quantum regime, where coherence and entanglement are expected to matter.

Exploring quantum thermodynamics with NMR

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open, 2023
Quantum thermodynamics seeks to extend non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics to small quantum systems where non-classical features are essential to its description.

Can Quantum Correlations Lead to Violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

Entropy, 2021
Quantum entanglement can cause the efficiency of a heat engine to be greater than the efficiency of the Carnot cycle. However, this does not mean a violation of the second law of thermodynamics, since there is no local equilibrium for pure quantum states,

Thermodynamics of Quantum Causal Models: An Inclusive, Hamiltonian Approach [PDF]

Quantum, 2020
Operational quantum stochastic thermodynamics is a recently proposed theory to study the thermodynamics of open systems based on the rigorous notion of a quantum stochastic process or quantum causal model.

Quantum thermodynamics of a quantum sized AdS black hole

Nuclear Physics B, 2022
In this paper, we investigate the effects of non-perturbative quantum gravitational corrections on a quantum sized AdS black hole. It will be observed that these non-perturbative quantum gravitational corrections modify the stability of this black hole ...

Thermodynamics at microscales： 3D→2D, 1D and 0D

Green Energy & Environment, 2020
Today, the laws of traditional thermodynamics are facing challenges when science is growing rapidly toward the microscale-world, even quantum hypothesis.

Verification of Information Thermodynamics in a Trapped Ion System

Entropy, 2022
Information thermodynamics has developed rapidly over past years, and the trapped ions, as a controllable quantum system, have demonstrated feasibility to experimentally verify the theoretical predictions in the information thermodynamics.
