Entropy production along nonequilibrium quantum jump trajectories

open access: yesNew 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.

Quantum corrections to the thermodynamics of black branes

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
In this paper we study the thermodynamics of black branes at quantum scales. We analyze both perturbative and non-perturbative corrections to the thermodynamics of such black branes.

A Resource Theory for Work and Heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 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,

Unraveling the role of coherence in the first law of quantum thermodynamics.

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2020
One of the fundamental questions in the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics is the role played by coherence in energetic processes that occur at the quantum level.

Universal approach to quantum thermodynamics in the strong coupling regime [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical review B, 2018
We present a protocol for the study of the dynamics and thermodynamics of quantum systems strongly coupled to a bath and subject to an external modulation.

Quantum thermodynamics of a quantum sized AdS black hole

open access: yesNuclear 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 ...

The role of quantum information in thermodynamics --- a topical review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics including the foundations of statistical mechanics, resource theories ...

Gravitation, Thermodynamics, and Quantum Theory [PDF]

open access: yesClass.Quant.Grav.16:A177-A190,1999, 1999
During the past 30 years, research in general relativity has brought to light strong hints of a very deep and fundamental relationship between gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory. The most striking indication of such a relationship comes from black hole thermodynamics, where it appears that certain laws of black hole mechanics are, in fact,

Work, heat and entropy production along quantum trajectories

open access: yes, 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

Quantum simulation of chiral phase transitions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
The Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model has been widely studied for investigating the chiral phase structure of strongly interacting matter. The study of the thermodynamics of field theories within the framework of Lattice Field Theory is limited by the sign ...
