The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

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

Quantum resource theories (QRTs) offer a highly versatile and powerful framework for
studying different phenomena in quantum physics. From quantum entanglement to quantum …

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

Thermal operations are an operational model of non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics.
In the absence of coherence between energy levels, exact state transition conditions under …

I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum
thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery …

Quantum coherence is a key element in topical research on quantum resource theories and
a primary facilitator for design and implementation of quantum technologies. However, the …

Quantum coherence is a fundamental property of quantum systems, separating quantum
from classical physics. Recently, there has been significant interest in the characterization of …
