There are several mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger
picture expresses quantum states in terms of wavefunctions over, eg position or momentum …

Constraints on work extraction are fundamental to our operational understanding of the
thermodynamics of both classical and quantum systems. In the quantum setting, finite-time …

In this tutorial, we present the definition, interpretation, and properties of some of the main
quasiprobabilities that can describe the statistics of measurement outcomes evaluated at …

Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of phase space probability of
classical statistical mechanics, allowing negative or/and nonreal values. It gives an …

Following the rising interest in quantum information science, the extension of a heat engine
to the quantum regime by exploring microscopic quantum systems has seen a boon of …

Abstract The Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability distribution, intimately connected with the
quantum correlation function of two observables measured at distinct times, is becoming …

Recent work has revealed the central role played by the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability
(KDQ) as a tool to properly account for non-classical features in the context of condensed …

Kirkwood-Dirac representations of quantum states are increasingly finding use in many
areas within quantum theory. Usually, representations of this sort are only applied to provide …

One of the most important goals in quantum thermodynamics is to demonstrate advantages
of themodynamic protocols over their classical counterparts. For that, it is necessary to (i) …

An important result in classical stochastic thermodynamics is the work fluctuation-dissipation
relation (FDR), which states that the dissipated work done along a slow process is …
