Daemonic ergotropy: enhanced work extraction from quantum correlations
npj Quantum Information, 2017 Quantum thermodynamics: Quantum correlations are key for work extraction! A strong connection exists between the ability of a quantum system to perform thermodynamic work and the amount of quantum correlations that are set in its physical configuration ...

A Resource Theory for Work and Heat [PDF]
, 2017 Several recent results on thermodynamics have been obtained using the tools of quantum information theory and resource theories. So far, the resource theories utilised to describe thermodynamics have assumed the existence of an infinite thermal reservoir,

Entropy production along nonequilibrium quantum jump trajectories
New Journal of Physics, 2013 For classical nonequilibrium systems, the separation of the total entropy production into the adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions is useful for understanding irreversibility in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.

Fundamental limitations for quantum and nano thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2013 The relationship between thermodynamics and statistical physics is valid in the thermodynamic limit - when the number of particles becomes very large. Here, we study thermodynamics in the opposite regime - at both the nano scale, and when quantum effects

Second Law-Like Inequalities with Quantum Relative Entropy: An Introduction [PDF]
, 2012 We review the fundamental properties of the quantum relative entropy for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. In particular, we focus on several inequalities that are related to the second law of thermodynamics, where the positivity and the monotonicity of

Entropy of a Quantum Oscillator coupled to a Heat Bath and implications for Quantum Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2005 The free energy of a quantum oscillator in an arbitrary heat bath at a temperature T is given by a "remarkable formula" which involves only a single integral. This leads to a corresponding simple result for the entropy.

Fluctuating Work: From Quantum Thermodynamical Identities to a Second Law Equality
Physical Review X, 2016 We investigate the connection between recent results in quantum thermodynamics and fluctuation relations by adopting a fully quantum mechanical description of thermodynamics.

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.

Work, heat and entropy production along quantum trajectories
, 2018 Quantum open systems evolve according to completely positive, trace preserving maps acting on the density operator, which can equivalently be unraveled in term of so-called quantum trajectories. These stochastic sequences of pure states correspond to the

Two-dimensional Quantum-Corrected Eternal Black Hole [PDF]
, 1995 The one-loop quantum corrections to geometry and thermodynamics of black hole are studied for the two-dimensional RST model. We chose boundary conditions corresponding to the eternal black hole being in the thermal equilibrium with the Hawking radiation.
