Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

Life is characterized by a myriad of complex dynamic processes allowing organisms to grow,
reproduce, and evolve. Physical approaches for describing systems out of thermodynamic …

The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems,
often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand …

Fluctuation theorems (FTs), which describe some universal properties of nonequilibrium
fluctuations, are examined from a quantum perspective and derived by introducing a two …

Molecular junctions, where single molecules are bound to metal or semiconductor
electrodes, represent a unique architecture to investigate molecules in a distinct …

We present a novel method to simulate the Lindblad equation, drawing on the relationship
between Lindblad dynamics, stochastic differential equations, and Hamiltonian simulations …

We propose a formulation of stochastic thermodynamics for systems subjected to
nonequilibrium constraints (ie broken detailed balance at steady state) and furthermore …

A generalized quantum master equation theory that governs the exact, nonperturbative
quantum dissipation and quantum transport is formulated in terms of hierarchically coupled …

We identify the operational conditions for maximum power of a nanothermoelectric engine
consisting of a single quantum level embedded between two leads at different temperatures …

The Mpemba effect was originally referred to as the faster icing of a higher-temperature
system than a lower-temperature system, and was later generalized to anomalous decays of …
