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 …

We identify sufficient conditions on the structure of the interaction Hamiltonian between a
two-level quantum system and a thermal bath that, without any external drive or coherent …

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 time-dependent energy transfer in a driven quantum system strongly coupled to a heat
bath is studied within an influence functional approach. Exact formal expressions for the …

We study the dynamics of a spin-1/2 particle interacting with a multi-spin environment,
modelling the corresponding open system dynamics through a collision-based model. The …

We study the dynamics of a quantum impurity immersed in a Bose-Einstein condensate as
an open quantum system in the framework of the quantum Brownian motion model. We …

To study the full counting statistics of quantum heat transfer in a driven nonequilibrium spin-
boson model, we develop a generalized nonequilibrium polaron-transformed Redfield …

Recent advances in the study of thermodynamics of microscopic processes have driven the
search for new developments in energy converters utilizing quantum effects. Here we …

We address parameter estimation for structured environments and suggest an effective
estimation scheme based on continuous-variables quantum probes. In particular, we …

We study a limit cycle of a quantum Otto engine whose every cycle consists of two finite-time
quantum isochoric (heating or cooling) processes and two quantum adiabatic work …
