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 …

Can collective quantum effects make a difference in a meaningful thermodynamic
operation? Focusing on energy storage and batteries, we demonstrate that quantum …

We study the problem of charging a quantum battery in finite time. We demonstrate an
analytical optimal protocol for the case of a single qubit. Extending this analysis to an array …

We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

Work and quantum correlations are two fundamental resources in thermodynamics and
quantum information theory. In this work, we study how to use correlations among quantum …

Classical thermodynamics is unrivalled in its range of applications and relevance to
everyday life. It enables a description of complex systems, made up of microscopic particles …

The laws of thermodynamics, despite their wide range of applicability, are known to break
down when systems are correlated with their environments. Here we generalize …

Unlike the entanglement of quantum states, very little is known about the entanglement of
bipartite channels, called dynamical entanglement. Here we work with the partial transpose …

Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and
thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of …

We show that it is impossible to perform ideal projective measurements on quantum systems
using finite resources. We identify three fundamental features of ideal projective …
