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 …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

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 …

Following the rising interest in quantum information science, the extension of a heat engine
to the quantum regime by exploring microscopic quantum systems has seen a boon of …

Recent work has revealed the central role played by the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability
(KDQ) as a tool to properly account for non-classical features in the context of condensed …

The thermodynamics of quantum systems driven out of equilibrium has attracted increasing
attention in the last decade, in connection with quantum information and statistical physics …

Generalized measurements may allow the control of its back-action on the quantum system
by interpolating from a very weak to strong projective action. Such a measurement can fuel a …

The standard approach to deriving fluctuation theorems fails to capture the effect of quantum
correlation and coherence in the initial state of the system. Here, we overcome this difficulty …

In quadratic fermionic models, we determine a quantum correction to the work statistics after
both a sudden quench and a time-dependent driving. Such a correction lies in the …

Entering the era of post-quantum supremacy has given one the ability to precisely control
noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) processors with multiqubits and extract valuable …
