A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

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 Colloquium gives an overview of recent theoretical and experimental progress in the
area of nonequilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum systems. There is particularly a focus …

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

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 …

Quantum theory provides an extensive framework for the description of the equilibrium
properties of quantum matter. Yet experiments in quantum simulators have now opened up …

Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations:
the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the …

In systems possessing spatial or dynamical symmetry breaking, Brownian motion combined
with unbiased external input signals, deterministic and random alike, can assist directed …

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