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 ...

Thermodynamic Implementations of Quantum Processes [PDF]
Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2021 AbstractRecent understanding of the thermodynamics of small-scale systems have enabled the characterization of the thermodynamic requirements of implementing quantum processes for fixed input states. Here, we extend these results to construct optimal universal implementations of a given process, that is, implementations that are accurate for any ...

Thermodynamics of Quantum Trajectories on a Quantum Computer
Physical Review Letters, 2023 Quantum computers have recently become available as noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Already these machines yield a useful environment for research on quantum systems and dynamics. Building on this opportunity, we investigate open-system dynamics that are simulated on a quantum computer by coupling a system of interest to an ancilla.

Thermodynamics of a quantum annealer [PDF]
Quantum Science and Technology, 2020 Abstract The D-wave processor is a partially controllable open quantum system that exchanges energy with its surrounding environment (in the form of heat) and with the external time dependent control fields (in the form of work). Despite being rarely thought as such, it is a thermodynamic machine. Here we investigate the properties of

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 have been demonstrated.

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.
