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 …

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 …

The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

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 …

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

The first law of thermodynamics imposes not just a constraint on the energy content of
systems in extreme quantum regimes but also symmetry constraints related to the …

We investigate the connection between quantum resources and extractable work in
quantum batteries. We demonstrate that quantum coherence in the battery or the battery …

Quantum coherence is a critical resource for many operational tasks. Understanding how to
quantify and manipulate it also promises to have applications for a diverse set of problems in …

Quantum coherence and quantum entanglement represent two fundamental features of
nonclassical systems that can each be characterized within an operational resource theory …
