Colloquium: Statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at strong coupling: Quantum and classical
P Talkner, P Hänggi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The statistical mechanical description of small systems staying in thermal equilibrium with an
environment can be achieved by means of the Hamiltonian of mean force. In contrast to the …

[HTML][HTML] A change of perspective: switching quantum reference frames via a perspective-neutral framework
Treating reference frames fundamentally as quantum systems is inevitable in quantum
gravity and also in quantum foundations once considering laboratories as physical systems …

Thermometry of strongly correlated fermionic quantum systems using impurity probes
We study quantum-impurity models as a platform for quantum thermometry. A single
quantum spin-1 2 impurity is coupled to an explicit, structured, fermionic thermal sample …

Operational one-to-one mapping between coherence and entanglement measures
We establish a general operational one-to-one mapping between coherence measures and
entanglement measures: Any entanglement measure of bipartite pure states is the minimum …

Fluctuations in extractable work bound the charging power of quantum batteries
We study the connection between the charging power of quantum batteries and the
fluctuations of the extractable work. We prove that in order to have a nonzero rate of change …

Work fluctuations in slow processes: quantum signatures and optimal control
An important result in classical stochastic thermodynamics is the work fluctuation-dissipation
relation (FDR), which states that the dissipated work done along a slow process is …
