Quantum optimal control, a toolbox for devising and implementing the shapes of external
fields that accomplish given tasks in the operation of a quantum device in the best way …

I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum
thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery …

Although classical thermal machines power industries and modern living, quantum thermal
engines have yet to prove their utility. Here, we demonstrate a useful quantum absorption …

Landauer's limit on heat dissipation during information erasure is critical as devices shrink,
requiring optimal pure-state preparation to minimize errors. However, Nernst's third law …

It is investigated whether non-Markovianity, ie, the memory effects resulting from the
coupling of the system to its environment, can be beneficial for the performance of quantum …

Strong local passivity is a property of multipartite quantum systems from which it is
impossible to extract energy locally. Surprisingly, if the strong local passive state displays …

We investigate the thermodynamic constraints on the pivotal task of entanglement
generation using out-of-equilibrium states through a model-independent framework with …

Thermal operations (TO) are a generic description for allowed state transitions under
thermodynamic restrictions. However, the quest for simpler methods to encompass all these …

Cooling quantum systems is arguably one of the most important thermodynamic tasks
connected to modern quantum technologies and an interesting question from a foundational …

Algorithmic cooling (AC) protocols have been predominantly studied for their cooling
capabilities, with limited attention paid to their thermodynamic properties. This work explores …
