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

In these decades, it has been revealed that there is rich information-theoretic structure in
thermodynamics of out-of-equilibrium systems in both the classical and quantum regimes …

Work extraction is one of the most central processes in quantum thermodynamics. However,
the prior analysis of optimal extractable work has been restricted to a limited operational …

The class of possible thermodynamic conversions can be extended by introducing an
auxiliary system called catalyst, which assists in state conversion while its own state remains …

In this article, we explore the set of thermal operations from a mathematical and topological
point of view. First, we introduce the concept of Hamiltonians with a resonant spectrum with …

Given two pairs of quantum states, we want to decide if there exists a quantum channel that
transforms one pair into the other. The theory of quantum statistical comparison and …

Despite the central importance of quantum entanglement in fueling many quantum
technologies, the understanding of the optimal ways to exploit it is still beyond our reach …

Energetic coherence is indispensable for various operations, including precise
measurement of time and acceleration of quantum manipulations. Since energetic …

Two constructive proofs on d-majorization and thermo-majorization are provided. In the first
part, we present a diagrammatic proof of the equivalence between d-majorization and the …

Gibbs-preserving operations have been studied as one of the standard free processes in
quantum thermodynamics. Although they admit a simple mathematical structure, their …
