Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production,
storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum …

A quantum battery is a work reservoir that stores energy in quantum degrees of freedom.
When immersed in an environment, an open quantum battery needs to be stabilized against …

The conventional formulation of quantum sensing is based on the assumption that the probe
is reset to its initial state after each measurement. In a very distinct approach, one can also …

In the ideal quantum Zeno (QZ) effect, repeated quantum projective measurements can
freeze the coherent dynamics of a quantum system. However, in the weak QZ regime …

We consider the impact that temporal correlations in the measurement statistics can have on
the achievable precision in a sequential metrological protocol. In this setting, and for a single …

The dynamics of quantum systems are unavoidably influenced by their environment, but in
turn observing a quantum system (probe) can allow one to measure its environment …

The dynamics of any quantum system is unavoidably influenced by the external
environment. Thus, the observation of a quantum system (probe) can allow the measure of …

Accurate manipulations of an open quantum system require a deep knowledge of its
controllability properties and the information content of the implemented control fields. By …

One of the major goals of quantum thermodynamics is the characterization of irreversibility
and its consequences in quantum processes. Here, we discuss how entropy production …

The main power of quantum sensors is achieved when the probe is composed of several
particles. In this situation, quantum features such as entanglement contribute in enhancing …
