One of the most widely known building blocks of modern physics is Heisenberg's
indeterminacy principle. Among the different statements of this fundamental property of the …

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 …

The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems,
often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand …

According to the second law, the efficiency of cyclic heat engines is limited by the Carnot
bound that is attained by engines that operate between two thermal baths under the …

The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and
the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling …

Autonomous engines operating at the nanoscale can be prone to deleterious fluctuations in
the heat and particle currents. Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) express a …

The thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations indicate trade-offs between the relative
fluctuation of observables and thermodynamic quantities such as dissipation and dynamical …

We present a collision model for the charging of a quantum battery by identical
nonequilibrium qubit units. When the units are prepared in a mixture of energy eigenstates …

We use quantum estimation theory to derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation in
Markovian open quantum systems, which bounds the fluctuation of continuous …

We develop a physics-based model for classical computation based on autonomous
quantum thermal machines. These machines consist of few interacting quantum bits (qubits) …
