Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

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

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

Quantum dynamical maps provide suitable mathematical representation of quantum
evolutions. When representing quantum states by density operators, the evident …

We investigate a quantum battery made of N two-level systems, which is charged by an
optical mode via an energy-conserving interaction. We quantify the fraction of energy stored …

We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

Thermodynamics is a science concerning the state of a system, whether it is stable,
metastable or unstable, when interacting with the surroundings. In this overview …

The study of open quantum systems often relies on approximate master equations derived
under the assumptions of weak coupling to the environment. However when the system is …

We design a quantum algorithm for ground state preparation in the early fault tolerant
regime. As a Monte Carlo style quantum algorithm, our method features a Lindbladian …
