Fluctuating Work: From Quantum Thermodynamical Identities to a Second Law Equality
Physical Review X, 2016 We investigate the connection between recent results in quantum thermodynamics and fluctuation relations by adopting a fully quantum mechanical description of thermodynamics.

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.

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.

Thermodynamics as a Consequence of Information Conservation [PDF]
Quantum, 2019 Thermodynamics and information have intricate interrelations. Often thermodynamics is considered to be the logical premise to justify that $\textit{information is physical}$ - through Landauer's principle -, thereby also linking information and ...

Work, heat and entropy production along quantum trajectories
, 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 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 ...

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.

Two-dimensional Quantum-Corrected Eternal Black Hole [PDF]
, 1995 The one-loop quantum corrections to geometry and thermodynamics of black hole are studied for the two-dimensional RST model. We chose boundary conditions corresponding to the eternal black hole being in the thermal equilibrium with the Hawking radiation.

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.
