Quasiprobabilities are mathematical quantities describing the statistics of measurement
outcomes evaluated at two or more times, which incorporate the incompatibility of the …

We consider quantum batteries given by composite interacting quantum systems in terms of
the thermodynamic work cost of local random unitary processes. We characterize quantum …

In this article, we introduce a quasiprobability distribution of work that is based on the Wigner
function. This proposal rests on the idea that the work conducted on an isolated system can …

In quantum thermodynamics, the standard approach to estimating work fluctuations in
unitary processes is based on two projective measurements, one performed at the …

According to the second law of thermodynamics, the evolution of physical systems has a
preferred direction, that is characterized by some positive entropy production. Here we …

We examine the role of diagnostic quantum measurements on the work statistics of a finite-
time quantum Otto heat engine operated in the steady state. We consider three pointer …

We study a Jarzysnki-type equality for work in systems that are monitored using
nonprojective unsharp measurements. The information acquired by the observer from the …

Quantum non-demolition measurements define a non-invasive protocol to extract
information from a quantum system that we aim to monitor. They exploit an additional …

With limited control over quantum systems, how can we extract information about them and
characterize their properties? This thesis addresses this question from several perspectives …

We introduce an experimental test for ruling out classical explanations for the statistics
obtained when measuring arbitrary observables at arbitrary times using individual detectors …
