Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

Quasiprobabilities are mathematical quantities describing the statistics of measurement
outcomes evaluated at two or more times, which incorporate the incompatibility of the …

Recent work has revealed the central role played by the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability
(KDQ) as a tool to properly account for non-classical features in the context of condensed …

The standard approach to deriving fluctuation theorems fails to capture the effect of quantum
correlation and coherence in the initial state of the system. Here, we overcome this difficulty …

In quadratic fermionic models, we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after
both a sudden quench and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the …

We characterize the impact that the application of two maps in a quantum-controlled order
has on the process of work extraction via unitary cycles and its optimization. The control is …

Recently, a “unified” quantum master equation was derived and shown to be of the Gorini-
Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan form. This equation describes the dynamics of open …

The existence of incompatible physical observables is one of the features that better casts
quantum physics apart from classical mechanics. In fact, incompatible observables are at the …

Engineered dynamical maps combining coherent and dissipative transformations of
quantum states with quantum measurements have demonstrated a number of technological …

Quantum correlation functions are a natural way to encode multitime information, as they are
ubiquitous in analysis from fluctuation theorems to information scrambling. Correlation …
