Quantum optimal control, a toolbox for devising and implementing the shapes of external
fields that accomplish given tasks in the operation of a quantum device in the best way …

The seminal work by Sadi Carnot in the early nineteenth century provided the blueprint of a
reversible heat engine and the celebrated second law of thermodynamics eventually …

An ancient and counterintuitive phenomenon known as the Mpemba effect (water can cool
faster when initially heated up) showcases the critical role of initial conditions in relaxation …

We investigate the quantum Mpemba effect from the perspective of nonequilibrium quantum
thermodynamics by studying relaxation dynamics of quantum systems coupled to a …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity provide fast protocols for quantum state preparation in which the
use of auxiliary counterdiabatic controls circumvents the requirement of slow driving in …

We develop a general framework to describe the thermodynamics of microscopic heat
engines driven by arbitrary periodic temperature variations and modulations of a mechanical …

The Landauer principle states that any logically irreversible information processing must be
accompanied by dissipation into the environment. In this Letter, we investigate the heat …

For the recycling of polluted water bodies to protect and maintain the eco-friendly future
environment herein for the first time Eucalyptus Bark (EB) and its composites were designed …

Ergodicity breaking and slow relaxation are intriguing aspects of nonequilibrium dynamics
both in classical and quantum settings. These phenomena are typically associated with …

A quantum battery is a work reservoir that stores energy in quantum degrees of freedom.
When immersed in an environment, an open quantum battery needs to be stabilized against …
