The seminal work by Sadi Carnot in the early nineteenth century provided the blueprint of a
reversible heat engine and the celebrated second law of thermodynamics eventually …

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 originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains why nonintegrable quantum many-
body systems thermalize internally if the Hamiltonian lacks symmetries. If the Hamiltonian …

The pillars of quantum theory include entanglement and operators' failure to commute. The
Page curve quantifies the bipartite entanglement of a many-body system in a random pure …

Quantum simulators have recently enabled experimental observations of the internal
thermalization of quantum many-body systems. Often, the global energy and particle number …

Nonequilibrium effects may have a profound impact on the performance of thermal devices
performing thermodynamic tasks such as refrigeration or heat pum**. The possibility of …

The thermodynamics of quantum systems driven out of equilibrium has attracted increasing
attention in the last decade, in connection with quantum information and statistical physics …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation, quantifying a trade-off among average current, the
associated fluctuation (precision), and entropy production (cost), has been formulated at …

A finite-time thermodynamic (FTT) model of three-heat-reservoir thermal Brownian
refrigerator is established in this paper. This model can be equivalent to the coupling of a …
