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 …

Quantum technologies are currently the object of high expectations from governments and
private companies, as they hold the promise to shape safer and faster ways to extract …

Multi-component molecular machines are ubiquitous in biology. We review recent progress
on describing their thermodynamic properties using autonomous bipartite Markovian …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

Quantum computing is considered as a next-generation information processing technology.
The basic element of a quantum computing system is a quantum bit, often called a qubit …

We analyze work extraction from a qubit into a waveguide (WG) acting as a battery, where
work is the coherent component of the energy radiated by the qubit. The process is …

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 …

We study the statistics of work, dissipation, and entropy production of a quantum quasi-
isothermal process, where the system remains close to thermal equilibrium along the …

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 …

We propose a quantum harmonic oscillator measurement engine fueled by simultaneous
quantum measurements of the noncommuting position and momentum quadratures of the …
