abstract

The theory of quantum thermodynamics investigates how the concepts of heat, work, and temperature can be carried over to the quantum realm, where fluctuations and randomness are fundamentally unavoidable. These lecture notes provide an introduction to the thermodynamics of small quantum systems. It is illustrated how the laws of thermodynamics emerge from quantum theory and how open quantum systems can be modeled by Markovian master equations. Quantum systems that are designed to perform a certain task, such as cooling or generating entanglement are considered. Finally, the effect of fluctuations on the thermodynamic description is discussed.

Ergotropy of quantum many-body scars

quant-ph · 2025-12-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Quantum many-body scars in the PXP model display extensive ergotropy that scales with system size and can be charged via coherent rotation resets, enabling their use for quantum many-body batteries.

Intrinsic Hamiltonian of Mean Force and Strong-Coupling Quantum Thermodynamics

quant-ph · 2025-06-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A universal framework for strong-coupling quantum thermodynamics that defines an intrinsic Hamiltonian of mean force, preserves von Neumann entropy and standard gauge freedoms, and formulates first and second laws from microscopically accessible variables.
