Correlations as a resource in quantum thermodynamics. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 The presence of correlations in physical systems can be a valuable resource for many quantum information tasks. They are also relevant in thermodynamic transformations, and their creation is usually associated to some energetic cost.

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.

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

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''.

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 ...

All States are Universal Catalysts in Quantum Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2020 Quantum catalysis is a fascinating concept which demonstrates that certain transformations can only become possible when given access to a specific resource that has to be returned unaffected. It was first discovered in the context of entanglement theory

Introduction to Quantum Thermodynamics: History and Prospects
, 2018 Quantum Thermodynamics is a continuous dialogue between two independent theories: Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics. Whenever the two theories addressed the same phenomena new insight has emerged.
