This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

One of the central concerns of computer science is how the resources needed to perform a
given computation depend on that computation. Moreover, one of the major resource …

Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard
thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below …

We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

The most accepted version of the third law of thermodynamics, the unattainability principle,
states that any process cannot reach absolute zero temperature in a finite number of steps …

We investigate the connection between recent results in quantum thermodynamics and
fluctuation relations by adopting a fully quantum mechanical description of thermodynamics …

Quantum systems strongly coupled to many-body systems equilibrate to the reduced state of
a global thermal state, deviating from the local thermal state of the system as it occurs in the …

We show that it is impossible to perform ideal projective measurements on quantum systems
using finite resources. We identify three fundamental features of ideal projective …

In recent years we have witnessed a concentrated effort to make sense of thermodynamics
for small-scale systems. One of the main difficulties is to capture a suitable notion of work …

To what extent do thermodynamic resource theories capture physically relevant constraints?
Inspired by quantum computation, we define a set of elementary thermodynamic gates that …
