Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

The many-body physics at quantum phase transitions shows a subtle interplay between
quantum and thermal fluctuations, emerging in the low-temperature limit. In this review, we …

We relate the probability distribution of the work done on a statistical system under a sudden
quench to the Lanczos coefficients corresponding to evolution under the postquench …

A complete understanding of the statistics of the work done by quenching a parameter of a
quantum many-body system is still lacking in the presence of an initial quantum coherence …

Thermodynamics of quantum systems and quantum thermal machines are rapidly
developing fields, which have already delivered several promising results, as well as raised …

In quadratic fermionic models, we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after
both a sudden quench and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the …

In the past decade, a new research frontier emerges at the interface between physics and
renewable energy, termed as inelastic thermoelectric effects, where inelastic transport …

We study the quantum dynamics of many-body systems, in the presence of dissipation due
to the interaction with the environment, under Kibble-Zurek (KZ) protocols in which one …

A bstract In this paper, we will obtain quantum work for a quantum scale five dimensional
Myers-Perry black hole. Unlike heat represented by Hawking radiation, the quantum work is …
