I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum
thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery …

Controlled quantum machines have matured significantly. A natural next step is to
increasingly grant them autonomy, freeing them from time-dependent external control. For …

What does it mean for one quantum process to be more disordered than another?
Interestingly, this apparently abstract question arises naturally in a wide range of areas such …

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

The study of advanced quantum devices for energy storage has attracted the attention of the
scientific community in the past few years. Although several theoretical progresses have …

We show that it is possible to have nonzero ergotropy in the steady states of an open
quantum system consisting of qubits that are collectively coupled to a thermal bath at a finite …

The question of whether quantum coherence is a resource beneficial or detrimental to the
performance of quantum heat engines has been thoroughly studied but remains undecided …

In the framework of quantum thermodynamics preparing a quantum system in a general
state requires the consumption of two distinct resources, namely, work and energetic …

The standard dynamical approach to quantum thermodynamics is based on Markovian
master equations describing the thermalization of a system weakly coupled to a large …

We establish the general framework of quantum fluctuation theorems by finding the
symmetry between the forward and backward transitions of any given quantum channel. The …
