We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

Understanding and simulating how a quantum system interacts and exchanges information
or energy with its surroundings is a ubiquitous problem, one which must be carefully …

We examine a quantum Otto engine with a harmonic working medium consisting of two
particles to explore the use of wave function symmetry as an accessible resource. It is shown …

We investigate the steady state properties arising from the open system dynamics described
by a memoryless (Markovian) quantum collision model, corresponding to a master equation …

The extension of quantum thermodynamics to situations that go beyond standard
thermodynamic settings comprises an important and interesting aspect of its development …

Maxwell's demon is the quintessential example of information control, which is necessary for
designing quantum devices. In thermodynamics, the demon is an intelligent being who …

Measurement-based quantum thermal machines are fascinating models of thermodynamic
cycles where measurement protocols play an important role in the performance and …

This Letter exposes a tight connection between the thermodynamic efficiency of information
processing and predictive inference. A generalized lower bound on dissipation is derived for …

We reveal the emergence of environment-induced spontaneous synchronization between
two spin-1 2 quantum objects in a collision model setting. In particular, we determine the …

The return of the information from the environment to the system is a phenomenon that can
be related to the existence of non-Markovian mechanisms in the environment, and such a …
