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 …

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 …

Developments in the thermodynamics of small quantum systems envisage nonclassical
thermal machines. In this scenario, energy fluctuations play a relevant role in the description …

Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard
thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below …

Quantum heat engines (QHE) are thermal machines where the working substance is a
quantum object. In the extreme case, the working medium can be a single particle or a few …

Electronic circuits operating at sub-kelvin temperatures are attractive candidates for studying
classical and quantum thermodynamics: their temperature can be controlled and measured …

The Jarzynski equality relates the free-energy difference between two equilibrium states to
the work done on a system through far-from-equilibrium processes—a milestone that builds …

In this tutorial, we present the definition, interpretation, and properties of some of the main
quasiprobabilities that can describe the statistics of measurement outcomes evaluated at …

We report the experimental reconstruction of the nonequilibrium work probability distribution
in a closed quantum system, and the study of the corresponding quantum fluctuation …

Controlling and measuring the temperature in different devices and platforms that operate in
the quantum regime is, without any doubt, essential for any potential application. In this …
