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 …

We present an overview of recent advances in the study of energy dynamics and
mechanisms for energy conversion in qubit systems with special focus on realizations in …

Abstract Information thermodynamics bridges information theory and statistical physics by
connecting information content and entropy production through measurement and feedback …

Qubits are physical, a quantum gate thus not only acts on the information carried by the qubit
but also on its energy. What is then the corresponding flow of energy between the qubit and …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations express a trade-off between precision, defined as the
noise-to-signal ratio of a generic current, and the amount of associated entropy production …

Energy storage is a basic physical process with many applications. When considering this
task at the quantum scale, it becomes important to optimise the non-equilibrium dynamics of …

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

A quantum-controlled device may produce a scenario in which two general quantum
operations can be performed in such a way that it is not possible to associate a definite order …
