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 …

Quantum batteries are energy storage devices built using quantum mechanical objects,
which are developed with the aim of outperforming their classical counterparts. Proposing …

Recent work has revealed the central role played by the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability
(KDQ) as a tool to properly account for non-classical features in the context of condensed …

Qubits are physical, a quantum gate thus not only acts on the information carried by the qubit
but also on its energy. What is then the corresponding flow of energy between the qubit and …

Quantum thermodynamics aims to extend standard thermodynamics and non-equilibrium
statistical physics to systems with sizes well below the thermodynamic limit. It is a rapidly …

The field of propagating quantum microwaves is a relatively new area of research that is
receiving increased attention due to its promising technological applications, both in …

Energy can be transferred between two quantum systems in two forms: unitary energy—that
can be used to drive another system—and correlation energy—that reflects past …

The third law of thermodynamics, also known as the Nernst unattainability principle, puts a
fundamental bound on how close a system, whether classical or quantum, can be cooled to …

Landauer's principle laid the main foundation for the development of modern
thermodynamics of information. However, in its original inception the principle relies on …

In a quantum Stirling heat engine, the heat exchanged with two thermal baths is partly
utilized for performing work by redistributing the energy levels of the working substance. We …
