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 …

A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy
perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast routes to the final results of slow, adiabatic changes
of the controlling parameters of a system. The shortcuts are designed by a set of analytical …

The Landauer principle states that any logically irreversible information processing must be
accompanied by dissipation into the environment. In this Letter, we investigate the heat …

We derive geometrical bounds on the irreversibility in both quantum and classical Markovian
open systems that satisfy the detailed balance condition. Using information geometry, we …

Understanding current fluctuations is of fundamental importance and paves the way for the
development of practical applications. According to the thermodynamic and kinetic …

Any physical system evolves at a finite speed that is constrained not only by the energetic
cost but also by the topological structure of the underlying dynamics. In this Letter, by …

The relationship between the thermodynamic and computational properties of physical
systems has been a major theoretical interest since at least the 19th century. It has also …

Since it's rediscovery in the twentieth century, the Mpemba effect, where a far-from-
equilibrium state may relax faster than a state closer to equilibrium, has been extensively …
