Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

The introduction of the quantum analogue of a Carnot engine based on a bath comprising of
particles with a small amount of coherence initiated an active line of research on the …

We show that it is possible to have nonzero ergotropy in the steady states of an open
quantum system consisting of qubits that are collectively coupled to a thermal bath at a finite …

Unlike classical systems, a measurement performed on a quantum system always alters its
state. In this work, the impacts of two diagnostic schemes to determine the performance of …

Synchronization between limit cycle oscillators can arise through entrainment to an external
drive or through mutual coupling. The interplay between the two mechanisms has been …

We consider the dissipative charging process of quantum batteries in terms of a collisional
model, where the batteries are coupled to a heat bath using nonenergy preserving …

Symmetries in an open quantum system lead to degenerated Liouvillians that physically
imply the existence of multiple steady states. In such cases, obtaining the initial condition …

The charging of a quantum battery by a four-stroke quantum machine that works either as an
engine or a refrigerator is investigated. The presented analysis provides the energetic …

We propose and analyze the theoretical model for a two-stroke quantum heat engine with
one of the heat baths replaced by a non-selective quantum measurement. We show that the …
