The Jaynes–Cummings Model (JCM) has recently been receiving increased attention as
one of the simplest, yet intricately nonlinear, models of quantum physics. Emphasising the …

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 …

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 …

The characterization and control of quantum effects in the performance of thermodynamic
tasks may open new avenues for small thermal machines working in the nanoscale. We …

Engineered dynamical maps combining coherent and dissipative transformations of
quantum states with quantum measurements have demonstrated a number of technological …

Maxwell's demons work by rectifying thermal fluctuations. They are not expected to function
at macroscopic scales where fluctuations become negligible and dynamics become …

Optimizing the performance of thermal machines is an essential task of thermodynamics. We
here consider the optimization of information engines that convert information about the …

Maxwell's Demon is at the heart of the interrelation between quantum information
processing and thermodynamics. In this thought experiment, a demon generates a …

Few-level systems coupled to thermal baths provide useful models for quantum
thermodynamics and to understand the role of heat currents in quantum information settings …

Maxwell's demon is the quintessential example of information control, which is necessary for
designing quantum devices. In thermodynamics, the demon is an intelligent being who …
