Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and
the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling …

Quantum technologies are currently the object of high expectations from governments and
private companies, as they hold the promise to shape safer and faster ways to extract …

A quantum thermal machine is an open quantum system coupled to hot and cold thermal
baths. Thus, its dynamics can be well understood using the concepts and tools from non …

Developments in the thermodynamics of small quantum systems envisage nonclassical
thermal machines. In this scenario, energy fluctuations play a relevant role in the description …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems,
often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand …

Abstract Information is physical, a realization that has transformed the physics of
measurement and communication. However, the flow between information, energy and …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) place strict bounds on the fluctuations of
thermodynamic quantities in terms of the associated entropy production. In this Letter, we …

Autonomous engines operating at the nanoscale can be prone to deleterious fluctuations in
the heat and particle currents. Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) express a …
