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 …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

We present the reaction-coordinate polaron-transform (RCPT) framework for generating
effective-Hamiltonian models to treat nonequilibrium open quantum systems at strong …

We study bounds on ratios of fluctuations in steady-state time-reversal energy conversion
devices. In the linear response regime, we prove that the relative fluctuations (precision) of …

It is investigated whether non-Markovianity, ie, the memory effects resulting from the
coupling of the system to its environment, can be beneficial for the performance of quantum …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation, quantifying a trade-off among average current, the
associated fluctuation (precision), and entropy production (cost), has been formulated at …

We study the performance of three-level quantum absorption refrigerators, paradigmatic
autonomous quantum thermal machines, and reveal central impacts of strong couplings …

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 …

In the past decade, a new research frontier emerges at the interface between physics and
renewable energy, termed as inelastic thermoelectric effects, where inelastic transport …

Whether genuine quantum effects, particularly quantum coherences, can offer an advantage
to quantum devices is a topic of much interest. Here, we study a minimal model, the three …
