Force-current structure in Markovian open quantum systems and its applications: Geometric housekeeping-excess decomposition and thermodynamic trade-off relations

Physical Review Research
Thermodynamic force and irreversible current are the foundational concepts of classical nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Entropy production rate is provided by their product in classical systems, ranging from mesoscopic to macroscopic systems.

Thermodynamics of Quantum Open Systems: Applications in Quantum Optics and Optomechanics [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Thermodynamics was developed in the XIXth century to provide a physical description to engines and other macroscopic thermal machines. Since then, progress in nanotechnologies urged to extend these formalism, initially designed for classical systems, to the quantum world.

Nonlinear bosonic Maxwell’s demon by coupling to qubits

Communications Physics
The concept of Maxwell’s demon, proposed in classical physics as a means to extract work from a thermodynamics system beyond the constraints set by the second law of thermodynamics, has since been extended to modern quantum physics.

Generalized laws of thermodynamics in the presence of correlations

Nature Communications, 2017
In presence of inter-system correlations, violations of the laws of thermodynamics become possible. Here, the authors develop a formalism redefining heat, work and thermodynamic laws in terms of quantum conditional entropy, which consistently generalize ...
