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 …

Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work and generally involve a large
number of particles. We report the experimental realization of a single-atom heat engine. An …

We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

We consider the speed limit for classical stochastic Markov processes with and without the
local detailed balance condition. We find that, for both cases, a trade-off inequality exists …

The essence of both classical and quantum engines is to extract useful energy (work) from
stochastic energy sources, eg, thermal baths. In Maxwell's demon engines, work extraction …

Following the rising interest in quantum information science, the extension of a heat engine
to the quantum regime by exploring microscopic quantum systems has seen a boon of …

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 …
