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 …

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations express a trade-off between precision, defined as the
noise-to-signal ratio of a generic current, and the amount of associated entropy production …

Information is physical but information is also processed in finite time. Where computing
protocols are concerned, finite-time processing in the quantum regime can dynamically …

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 …

In open quantum systems, a clear distinction between work and heat is often challenging,
and extending the quantum Jarzynski equality to systems evolving under general quantum …

Optical Bloch equations (OBE) describe the coherent exchange of energy between a
quantum bit (qubit) and a quasi-resonant driving field in the presence of a thermal bath …

As previously demonstrated, the entropy production—a key quantity characterizing the
irreversibility of thermodynamic processes—is related to generation of correlations between …

The entropy production rate is a key quantity in nonequilibrium thermodynamics of both
classical and quantum processes. No universal theory of entropy production is available to …
