Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum

GT Landi, M Paternostro - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
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 …

Quantum collision models: Open system dynamics from repeated interactions

F Ciccarello, S Lorenzo, V Giovannetti, GM Palma - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

Thermodynamic unification of optimal transport: Thermodynamic uncertainty relation, minimum dissipation, and thermodynamic speed limits

T Van Vu, K Saito - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy
perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum …

Current fluctuations in open quantum systems: Bridging the gap between quantum continuous measurements and full counting statistics

GT Landi, MJ Kewming, MT Mitchison, PP Potts - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

Dissipative charging of a quantum battery

F Barra - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We show that a cyclic unitary process can extract work from the thermodynamic equilibrium
state of an engineered quantum dissipative process. Systems in the equilibrium states of …

The role of quantum coherence in non-equilibrium entropy production

JP Santos, LC Céleri, GT Landi… - npj Quantum Information, 2019 - nature.com
Thermodynamic irreversibility is well characterized by the entropy production arising from
non-equilibrium quantum processes. We show that the entropy production of a quantum …

Energy dynamics, heat production and heat–work conversion with qubits: toward the development of quantum machines

L Arrachea - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

Thermodynamics of weakly coherent collisional models

FLS Rodrigues, G De Chiara, M Paternostro, GT Landi - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We introduce the idea of weakly coherent collisional models, where the elements of an
environment interacting with a system of interest are prepared in states that are …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation in slowly driven quantum heat engines

HJD Miller, MH Mohammady, M Perarnau-Llobet… - Physical review …, 2021 - APS
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations express a trade-off between precision, defined as the
noise-to-signal ratio of a generic current, and the amount of associated entropy production …
