Relativistic quantum thermodynamics of moving systems [PDF]
, 2020 We analyse the thermodynamics of a quantum system in a trajectory of constant velocity that interacts with a static thermal bath. The latter is modeled by a massless scalar field in a thermal state.

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.

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

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 ...

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.

Thermodynamics and quantum correlations
, 2023 Thermodynamics traditionally deals with macroscopic systems at thermal equilibrium. However, since the very beginning of the theory, its range of applicability has only increased, nowadays being applied to virtually every field of science, and to systems of extremely different size. This thesis is devoted to the study of thermodynamics in the quantum

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

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.

Thermodynamics of discrete quantum processes [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2013 We define thermodynamic configurations and identify two primitives of discrete quantum processes between configurations for which heat and work can be defined in a natural way. This allows us to uncover a general second law for any discrete trajectory that consists of a sequence of these primitives, linking both equilibrium and non-equilibrium ...
