Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

The second law of thermodynamics places constraints on state transformations. It applies to
systems composed of many particles, however, we are seeing that one can formulate laws of …

This book provides the reader with the mathematical framework required to fully explore the
potential of small quantum information processing devices. As decoherence will continue to …

Quantum resource theories (QRTs) offer a highly versatile and powerful framework for
studying different phenomena in quantum physics. From quantum entanglement to quantum …

In recent years it has been recognized that properties of physical systems such as
entanglement, athermality, and asymmetry, can be viewed as resources for important tasks …

Because of conservation of energy we cannot directly turn a quantum system with a definite
energy into a superposition of different energies. However, if we have access to an …

Thermodynamics is traditionally concerned with systems comprised of a large number of
particles. Here we present a framework for extending thermodynamics to individual quantum …

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 …

Landauerʼs principle relates entropy decrease and heat dissipation during logically
irreversible processes. Most theoretical justifications of Landauerʼs principle either use …
