The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

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 …

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

The first law of thermodynamics imposes not just a constraint on the energy content of
systems in extreme quantum regimes but also symmetry constraints related to the …

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 …

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

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 …

The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and
the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling …

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