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.

Gaussian work extraction from random Gaussian states is nearly impossible
Physical Review Research, 2023 Quantum thermodynamics can be naturally phrased as a theory of quantum state transformation and energy exchange for small-scale quantum systems undergoing thermodynamical processes, thereby making the resource theoretical approach very well suited. A key

Probabilistically violating the first law of thermodynamics in a quantum heat engine
SciPost Physics, 2022 Fluctuations of thermodynamic observables, such as heat and work, contain relevant information on the underlying physical process. These fluctuations are however not taken into account in the traditional laws of thermodynamics. While the second law is

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics in cavity optomechanics
Fundamental Research, 2023 Classical thermodynamics has been a great achievement in dealing with systems that are in equilibrium or near equilibrium. As an emerging field, nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides a general framework for understanding the nonequilibrium processes ...

Quantum Thermodynamics with Degenerate Eigenstate Coherences
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 ...
