Heat spontaneously flows from hot to cold in standard thermodynamics. However, the latter
theory presupposes the absence of initial correlations between interacting systems. We here …

Energy storage is a basic physical process with many applications. When considering this
task at the quantum scale, it becomes important to optimise the non-equilibrium dynamics of …

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 …

The rate of entropy production provides a useful quantitative measure of a non-equilibrium
system and estimating it directly from time-series data from experiments is highly desirable …

We set up a framework for quantum stochastic thermodynamics based solely on
experimentally controllable but otherwise arbitrary interventions at discrete times. Using …

We use a near quantum limited detector to experimentally track individual quantum state
trajectories of a driven qubit formed by the hybridization of a waveguide cavity and a …

The information on a quantum process acquired through measurements plays a crucial role
in the determination of its nonequilibrium thermodynamic properties. We report on the …

We investigated coupled-qubit-based thermal machines powered by quantum
measurements and feedback. We considered two different versions of the machine:(1) a …

Causal asymmetry is one of the great surprises in predictive modeling: The memory required
to predict the future differs from the memory required to retrodict the past. There is a …

Quantum technology has been rapidly growing due to its potential revolutionary
applications. In particular, superconducting qubits provide a strong light-matter interaction as …
