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 …

We report the experimental reconstruction of the nonequilibrium work probability distribution
in a closed quantum system, and the study of the corresponding quantum fluctuation …

In this tutorial, we present the definition, interpretation, and properties of some of the main
quasiprobabilities that can describe the statistics of measurement outcomes evaluated at …

We present a new method to measure the work w performed on a driven quantum system
and to sample its probability distribution P (w). The method is based on a simple fact that …

An important result in classical stochastic thermodynamics is the work fluctuation-dissipation
relation (FDR), which states that the dissipated work done along a slow process is …

We study a four-stroke Otto engine whose working fluid is a quantum Ising chain. The
thermodynamic cycle consists in sweeps of the transverse magnetic field occurring in …

A complete understanding of the statistics of the work done by quenching a parameter of a
quantum many-body system is still lacking in the presence of an initial quantum coherence …

Quantum work is usually determined from two projective measurements of the energy at the
beginning and at the end of a thermodynamic process. However, this paradigm cannot be …

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 …

In this contribution, we aim to illustrate how quantum work statistics can be used as a tool in
order to gain insight on the universal features of non-equilibrium many-body systems …
