The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and
the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling …

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

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 …

Some of the oldest and most important applications of thermodynamics are operations of
refrigeration as well as production of useful energy. Part of the efforts to understand and …

Recently, an unconditional advantage has been demonstrated for the process of charging of
a quantum battery in a collisional model [Seah et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 100601 (2021) …

We derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation for general open quantum dynamics,
described by a joint unitary evolution on a composite system comprising a system and an …

We examine the so-called thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR), a cost-precision trade-
off relationship in transport systems. Based on the fluctuation symmetry, we derive a …

Local master equations are a widespread tool to model open quantum systems, especially
in the context of many-body systems. These equations, however, are believed to lead to …

We develop a perturbative technique for solving Markovian quantum dissipative dynamics,
with the perturbation parameter being a small gap in the eigenspectrum. As an example, we …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation, originally derived for classical Markov-jump
processes, provides a tradeoff relation between precision and dissipation, deepening our …
