Low-dimensional semiconductor materials structures, where nanowires are needle-like one-
dimensional examples, have developed into one of the most intensely studied fields of …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy
perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum …

A quantum thermal machine is an open quantum system coupled to hot and cold thermal
baths. Thus, its dynamics can be well understood using the concepts and tools from non …

We investigate the quantum Mpemba effect from the perspective of nonequilibrium quantum
thermodynamics by studying relaxation dynamics of quantum systems coupled to a …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) place strict bounds on the fluctuations of
thermodynamic quantities in terms of the associated entropy production. In this Letter, we …

The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and
the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling …

Autonomous engines operating at the nanoscale can be prone to deleterious fluctuations in
the heat and particle currents. Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) express a …

Nanoscale heat engines are subject to large fluctuations which affect their precision. The
thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) provides a trade-off between output power …

A quantum two-level system with periodically modulated energy splitting could provide a
minimal universal quantum heat machine. We present the experimental realization and the …
