Quantum dynamical maps provide suitable mathematical representation of quantum
evolutions. When representing quantum states by density operators, the evident …

We analyze the production of entropy along nonequilibrium processes in quantum systems
coupled to generic environments. First, we show that the entropy production due to final …

We study a class of ergodic quantum Markov semigroups on finite-dimensional unital C⁎-
algebras. These semigroups have a unique stationary state σ, and we are concerned with …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations express a trade-off between precision, defined as the
noise-to-signal ratio of a generic current, and the amount of associated entropy production …

The dissipative variant of the Ising model in a transverse field is one of the most important
models in the analysis of open quantum many-body systems, due to its paradigmatic …

Information is physical but information is also processed in finite time. Where computing
protocols are concerned, finite-time processing in the quantum regime can dynamically …

For classical nonequilibrium systems, the separation of the total entropy production into the
adiabatic and nonadiabatic contributions is useful for understanding irreversibility in …

Preparing thermal and ground states is an essential quantum algorithmic task for quantum
simulation. In this work, we construct the first efficiently implementable and exactly detailed …

The thermodynamics of quantum systems driven out of equilibrium has attracted increasing
attention in the last decade, in connection with quantum information and statistical physics …

We derive a general fluctuation theorem for quantum maps. The theorem applies to a broad
class of quantum dynamics, such as unitary evolution, decoherence, thermalization, and …
