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 with Degenerate Eigenstate Coherences [PDF]
Entropy, 2016 We establish quantum thermodynamics for open quantum systems weakly coupled to their reservoirs when the system exhibits degeneracies. The first and second law of thermodynamics are derived, as well as a finite-time fluctuation theorem for mechanical ...

A Schmidt Decomposition Approach to Quantum Thermodynamics. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2022 The development of a self-consistent thermodynamic theory of quantum systems is of fundamental importance for modern physics. Still, despite its essential role in quantum science and technology, there is no unifying formalism for characterizing the ...

Thermodynamics and Inflammation: Insights into Quantum Biology and Ageing [PDF]
, 2022 Inflammation as a biological concept has been around a long time and derives from the Latin “to set on fire” and refers to the redness and heat, and usually swelling, which accompanies injury and infection.

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 ...

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.
