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 …

By its very nature, the second law of thermodynamics is probabilistic, in that its formulation
requires a probabilistic description of the state of a system. This raises questions about the …

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 …

We consider a Brownian particle which, in addition to being in contact with a thermal bath, is
driven by fluctuating forces which stem from active processes in the system, such as self …

Cross phenomena, representing responses of a system to external stimuli, are ubiquitous
from quantum to macro scales. The Onsager theorem is often used to describe them, stating …

In apparent contradiction to the laws of thermodynamics, Maxwell's demon is able to
cyclically extract work from a system in contact with a thermal bath, exploiting the information …

We provide a unified thermodynamic formalism describing information transfers in
autonomous as well as nonautonomous systems described by stochastic thermodynamics …

The essence of both classical and quantum engines is to extract useful energy (work) from
stochastic energy sources, eg, thermal baths. In Maxwell's demon engines, work extraction …

We investigate the connection between the time evolution of averages of stochastic
quantities and the Fisher information and its induced statistical length. As a consequence of …

Heat spontaneously flows from hot to cold in standard thermodynamics. However, the latter
theory presupposes the absence of initial correlations between interacting systems. We here …
