Time estimation is a fundamental task that underpins precision measurement, global
navigation systems, financial markets, and the organisation of everyday life. Many biological …

We analyze a mesoscopic conductor autonomously performing a thermodynamically useful
task, such as cooling or producing electrical power, in a part of the system—the working …

Entanglement engines are autonomous quantum thermal machines designed to generate
entanglement from the presence of a particle current flowing through the device. In this work …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) express a fundamental lower bound on the
precision (inverse scaled variance) of any thermodynamic charge—eg, work or heat—by …

Three-terminal coherent conductors are able to perform as quantum thermocouples when
the heat absorbed from one terminal is transformed into useful power in the other two …

The operation of many classical and quantum systems in nonequilibrium steady state is
constrained by cost-precision (dissipation-fluctuation) tradeoff relations, delineated by the …

We analyze the precision of currents in a generic multi-terminal quantum-transport setting.
Employing scattering theory, we show that the precision of the currents is limited by a …

We consider a quantum system driven out of equilibrium via a small Hamiltonian
perturbation. Building on the paradigmatic framework of linear response theory (LRT), we …

For steady-state autonomous absorption refrigerators operating in the linear response
regime, we show that there exists a hierarchy between the relative fluctuation of currents for …

The investigation of microscopic nonequilibrium thermodynamic systems is a wide a varied
field of study. While hard to pin down with one particular frame of reference, the …
