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

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

Classical thermodynamics is unrivalled in its range of applications and relevance to
everyday life. It enables a description of complex systems, made up of microscopic particles …

This article sets up a new formalism to investigate stochastic thermodynamics in the
quantum regime, where stochasticity and irreversibility primarily come from quantum …

We develop a thermodynamic framework that describes a classical system of interest S that
is strongly coupled to its thermal environment E. Within this framework, seven key …

Diverse models of engines energised by quantum-coherent, hence non-thermal, baths allow
the engine efficiency to transgress the standard thermodynamic Carnot bound. These …

Classical thermodynamics has been a great achievement in dealing with systems that are in
equilibrium or near equilibrium. As an emerging field, nonequilibrium thermodynamics …

Josephson junctions are a central element in superconducting quantum technology; in these
devices, irreversibility arises from abrupt slips of the quantum phase difference across the …

Originally formulated for macroscopic machines, the laws of thermodynamics were recently
shown to hold for quantum systems coupled to ideal sources of work (external classical …

Generalized measurements may allow the control of its back-action on the quantum system
by interpolating from a very weak to strong projective action. Such a measurement can fuel a …
