Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard
thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below …

Can collective quantum effects make a difference in a meaningful thermodynamic
operation? Focusing on energy storage and batteries, we demonstrate that quantum …

Work and quantum correlations are two fundamental resources in thermodynamics and
quantum information theory. In this work, we study how to use correlations among quantum …

Quantum devices are systems that can explore quantum phenomena, such as entanglement
or coherence, for example, to provide some enhancement performance concerning their …

Systems that are driven out of thermal equilibrium typically dissipate random quantities of
energy on microscopic scales. Crooks fluctuation theorem relates the distribution of these …

Coupling of a quantum battery (QB) to two thermal reservoirs brings it to a nonequilibrium
steady-state (NESS). In this situation, although, the QB can be charged through the NESS …

A fully operational loss-free quantum battery requires an inherent control over the energy
transfer process, with the ability of kee** the energy retained with no leakage. Moreover, it …

The performance of quantum technologies that use entanglement and coherence as a
resource is highly limited by the effects of decoherence due to their interaction with some …

One of the most fundamental tasks in quantum thermodynamics is extracting energy from
one system and subsequently storing this energy in an appropriate battery. Both of these …

We introduce a cyclic quantum battery QB model, based on an interacting bipartite system,
weakly coupled to a thermal bath. The working cycle of the battery consists of four strokes …
