Complexity-Constrained Quantum Thermodynamics
Quantum complexity measures the difficulty of realizing a quantum process, such as preparing a state or implementing a unitary. We present an approach to quantifying the thermodynamic resources required to implement a process if the process’s complexity ...

Quantum mechanical bound for efficiency of quantum Otto heat engine
The second law of thermodynamics constrains that the efficiency of heat engines, classical or quantum, cannot be greater than the universal Carnot efficiency.

Clock-driven quantum thermal engines
We consider an isolated autonomous quantum machine, where an explicit quantum clock is responsible for performing all transformations on an arbitrary quantum system (the engine), via a time-independent Hamiltonian. In a general context, we show that this

About thermodynamics of Schwarzschild black holes in a three-dimensional quantum vacuum with generalized uncertainty relations [PDF]
By considering a modified version of generalized uncertainty relations in the model of a three-dimensional dynamic quantum vacuum characterized by a variable energy density, new relevant perspectives of analysis of the thermodynamics of Schwarzschild ...

Sub-Quantum Thermodynamics as a Basis of Emergent Quantum Mechanics
This review presents results obtained from our group’s approach to model quantum mechanics with the aid of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. As has been shown, the exact Schrödinger equation can be derived by assuming that a particle of energy is actually ...

Are there Thermodynamical Degrees of Freedom of Gravitation? [PDF]
In discussing fundamentals of general-relativistic irreversible continuum thermodynamics, this theory is shown to be characterized by the feature that no thermodynamical degrees of freedom are ascribed to gravitation. However, accepting that black hole thermodynamics seems to oppose this harmlessness of gravitation one is called on consider other ...

Leggett-Garg Inequalities for Quantum Fluctuating Work
The Leggett-Garg inequalities serve to test whether or not quantum correlations in time can be explained within a classical macrorealistic framework. We apply this test to thermodynamics and derive a set of Leggett-Garg inequalities for the statistics of
