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: An Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Quantum Computers [PDF]
Proceedings of 5th International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications, 2019 We are the verge of a technological revolution. Over the last couple of years the first computational devices have become commercially available that promise to exploit so-called quantum supremacy. Even though the thermodynamic cost for processing classical information has been known since the 1960s, the thermodynamic description of quantum computers ...

Bluff your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2001 The aim of this article is to analyse the relation between the second law of thermodynamics and the so-called arrow of time. For this purpose, a number of different aspects in this arrow of time are distinguished, in particular those of time-(a)symmetry ...

Quantum thermodynamically consistent local master equations
Physical Review Research, 2021 Local master equations are a widespread tool to model open quantum systems, especially in the context of many-body systems. These equations, however, are believed to lead to thermodynamic anomalies and violation of the laws of thermodynamics. In contrast,

Thermodynamics and coherence in quantum systems
, 2023 Quantum thermodynamics, an emerging interdisciplinary field, bridges the gap between quantum mechanics and classical thermodynamics. This thesis delves into quantum thermodynamic phenomena and their real-world applications across multiple physical ...

Entropy Exchange and Thermodynamic Properties of the Single Ion Cooling Process
Entropy, 2019 A complete quantum cooling cycle may be a useful platform for studying quantum thermodynamics just as the quantum heat engine does. Entropy change is an important feature which can help us to investigate the thermodynamic properties of the single ion ...

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 ...

Non-destructively probing the thermodynamics of quantum systems with qumodes [PDF]
, 2023 Quantum systems are by their very nature fragile. The fundamental backaction on a state due to quantum measurement notwithstanding, there is also in practice often a destruction of the system itself due to the means of measurement.

Quantum corrections for thermodynamics [PDF]
Il Nuovo Cimento B, 1978 We generalize an expression for the trace of an operator due to Nishijima and derive, without the use of tedious mathematics, the Kirkwood expansion for the quantum-mechanical partition function. This expansion is applied to three simple systems and its use for more complex systems is thereby made clear.
