SciPost Physics Lecture NotesThe theory of quantum thermodynamics investigates how the concepts of heat, work, and temperature can be carried over to the quantum realm, where fluctuations and randomness are fundamentally unavoidable.

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.

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 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

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.
