Quantum thermodynamics: Thermodynamics at the nanoscale [PDF]
Journal of Modern Optics, 2004 A short introduction on quantum thermodynamics is given and three new topics are discussed: 1) Maximal work extraction from a finite quantum system. The thermodynamic prediction fails and a new, general result is derived, the ``ergotropy''.

Contemporary Physics, 2015 Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below the thermodynamic limit, in non-equilibrium situations and with the full inclusion of ...

Geometric quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 Building on parallels between geometric quantum mechanics and classical mechanics, we explore an alternative basis for quantum thermodynamics that exploits the differential geometry of the underlying state space.

The role of quantum measurement in stochastic thermodynamics
npj Quantum Information, 2017 Rebuilding quantum thermodynamics on quantum measurement Measuring a quantum system is an ultimately random operation. It induces a genuinely quantum time arrow, increasing the system’s entropy. But because it perturbs its state, quantum measurement also

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.

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 ...

Quantum thermodynamics and quantum coherence engines [PDF]
TURKISH JOURNAL OF PHYSICS, 2020 Advantages of quantum effects in several technologies, such as computation and communication, have already been well appreciated, and some devices, such as quantum computers and communication links, exhibiting superiority to their classical counterparts ...

Thermodynamics of the Quantum Mpemba Effect. [PDF]
Physical Review LettersWe investigate the quantum Mpemba effect from the perspective of nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics by studying relaxation dynamics of quantum systems coupled to a Markovian heat bath, which are described by Davies maps.
