We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

We study quantum-impurity models as a platform for quantum thermometry. A single
quantum spin-1 2 impurity is coupled to an explicit, structured, fermionic thermal sample …

Nonequilibrium effects may have a profound impact on the performance of thermal devices
performing thermodynamic tasks such as refrigeration or heat pum**. The possibility of …

The introduction of the quantum analogue of a Carnot engine based on a bath comprising of
particles with a small amount of coherence initiated an active line of research on the …

We investigate the limits of thermometry using quantum probes at thermal equilibrium within
the Bayesian approach. We consider the possibility of engineering interactions between the …

We consider thermal machines powered by locally equilibrium reservoirs that share
classical or quantum correlations. The reservoirs are modeled by the so-called collisional …

We present an exact analytical solution of the anisotropic Hopfield model, and we use it to
investigate in detail the spectral and thermometric response of two ultrastrongly coupled …

The appearance of steady-state coherence (SSC) from system-bath interactions proves that
quantum effects can appear without an external drive. Such SSC could become a resource …

In this study we investigate how correlations of a multipartite quantum system affect its
thermodynamics when subsystems of which interact with a thermal reservoir in a cascaded …

Recent experiments at the nanoscales confirm that thermal rectifiers, the thermal equivalent
of electrical diodes, can operate in the quantum regime. We present a thorough investigation …
