Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production,
storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum …

Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

The energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices
such as quantum batteries (QB). In this context, one of the main figures of merit is the …

Recently, there has been an upsurge of interest in quantum thermodynamic devices, notably
quantum batteries. Quantum batteries serve as energy storage devices governed by the …

The energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices

Quantum Darwinism builds on decoherence theory to explain the emergence of classical
behavior in a fundamentally quantum universe. Within this framework we prove two crucial …

We study the quantum fluctuation theorem in the one-time measurement (OTM) scheme,
where the work distribution of the backward process has been lacking and which is …

We derive a general quantum exchange fluctuation theorem for multipartite systems with
arbitrary coupling strengths by taking into account the informational contribution of the back …

Geometric quantum mechanics, through its differential-geometric underpinning, provides
additional tools of analysis and interpretation that bring quantum mechanics closer to …

Quantum energy coherences represent a thermodynamic resource, which can be exploited
to extract energy from a thermal reservoir and deliver that energy as work. We argue that …
