The demand for sophisticated tools and approaches in heat management and control has
triggered the fast development of fields that include conductive thermal metamaterials …

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 …

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

Quantum computers have made extraordinary progress over the past decade, and
significant milestones have been achieved along the path of pursuing universal fault-tolerant …

Developments in the thermodynamics of small quantum systems envisage nonclassical
thermal machines. In this scenario, energy fluctuations play a relevant role in the description …

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 …

The working substance fueling a quantum heat engine may contain coherence in its energy
basis, depending on the dynamics of the engine cycle. In some models of quantum Otto heat …

Thermodynamic irreversibility is well characterized by the entropy production arising from
non-equilibrium quantum processes. We show that the entropy production of a quantum …

We introduce the idea of weakly coherent collisional models, where the elements of an
environment interacting with a system of interest are prepared in states that are …

We derive detailed and integral quantum fluctuation theorems for heat exchange in a
quantum correlated bipartite thermal system using the framework of dynamic Bayesian …
