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 …

A general thermodynamic framework is presented for open quantum systems in fixed contact
with a thermal reservoir. The first and second law are obtained for arbitrary system-reservoir …

We show that non-Markovian effects of the reservoirs can be used as a resource to extract
work from an Otto cycle. The state transformation under non-Markovian dynamics is …

Entropy production plays a fundamental role in nonequilibrium thermodynamics to quantify
the irreversibility of open systems. Its positivity can be ensured for a wide class of setups, but …

We study the dynamics of a quantum system whose interaction with an environment is
described by a collision model, ie, the open dynamics is modeled through sequences of …

The thermodynamic framework of repeated interactions is generalized to an arbitrary open
quantum system in contact with a heat bath. Based on these findings, the theory is then …

We develop a general theory describing the thermodynamical behavior of open quantum
systems coupled to thermal baths beyond perturbation theory. Our approach is based on the …

We investigate the steady state properties arising from the open system dynamics described
by a memoryless (Markovian) quantum collision model, corresponding to a master equation …

We investigate the dissipative dynamics yielded by the Lindblad equation within the
coexistence region around a first-order phase transition. In particular, we consider an exactly …

Quantum non-Markovianity of a quantum noisy channel is typically identified with
information backflow or, more generally, with departure of the intermediate map from …
