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 …

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 …

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 …

We investigate the connection between quantum resources and extractable work in
quantum batteries. We demonstrate that quantum coherence in the battery or the battery …

Quantum heat engines (QHE) are thermal machines where the working substance is a
quantum object. In the extreme case, the working medium can be a single particle or a few …

Constraints on work extraction are fundamental to our operational understanding of the
thermodynamics of both classical and quantum systems. In the quantum setting, finite-time …

Considerable work has recently been directed toward develo** resource theories of
quantum coherence. In this Letter, we establish a criterion of physical consistency for any …

We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

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 …

The essence of both classical and quantum engines is to extract useful energy (work) from
stochastic energy sources, eg, thermal baths. In Maxwell's demon engines, work extraction …
