Thermodynamics of quantum heat bath [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2016 A model for the thermodynamics of a quantum heat bath is introduced. Under the assumption that the bath molecules have finitely many degrees of freedom and are weakly interacting, we present a general derivation of the equation of state of the bath in the thermodynamic limit.

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.

Quantum corrections to the thermodynamics of black branes
Journal 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.

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

Quantum thermodynamics with local control [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2018 We investigate the limitations that emerge in thermodynamic tasks as a result of having local control only over the components of a thermal machine. These limitations are particularly relevant for devices composed of interacting many-body systems. Specifically, we study protocols of work extraction that employ a many-body system as a working medium ...

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,

Thermodynamical Quantum Gravity [PDF]
Applied Mathematics and Physics, 2014 The canonically quantized 3+1 General Relativity with the global one dimensionality conjecture defines the model, which dimensionally reduced and secondary quantized yields the one-dimensional quantum field theory wherein the generic one-point correlations create a boson mass responsible for quantum gravity.

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

Thermodynamics of an Incommensurate Quantum Crystal [PDF]
Science, 2005 We present a theory of the thermodynamics of an incommensurate quantum solid. The ground state of the solid is assumed to be an incommensurate crystal, with quantum zero-point vacancies and interstitials and thus a non-integer number of atoms per unit cell.
