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 ...

First and Second Law of Quantum Thermodynamics: A Consistent Derivation Based on a Microscopic Definition of Entropy [PDF]
PRX Quantum, 2020 Deriving the laws of thermodynamics from a microscopic picture is a central quest of statistical mechanics. This tutorial focuses on the derivation of the first and second law for isolated and open quantum systems far from equilibrium, where such ...

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 ...

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

Quantum Thermodynamics of Correlated-Catalytic State Conversion at Small Scale. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 The class of possible thermodynamic conversions can be extended by introducing an auxiliary system called catalyst, which assists in state conversion while its own state remains unchanged.

Josephson quantum spin thermodynamics
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2022 Abstract A 1D Josephson junction (JJ) loop, doped with a spin-flipper and attached to two thermal reservoirs is shown to operate as a heat engine, or a refrigerator, or a Joule pump or even as a cold pump. When operating as a quantum heat engine, the efficiency of this device exceeds that of some recent Josephson heat engine proposals ...
