This book provides an introduction to the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics, with particular focus on its relation to quantum information and its implications for quantum computers and next generation quantum technologies. The text, aimed at graduate level physics students with a working knowledge of quantum mechanics and statistical physics, provides a brief overview of the development of classical thermodynamics and its quantum formulation in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 then explores typical thermodynamic settings, such as cycles and work extraction protocols, when the working material is genuinely quantum. Finally, Chapter 3 explores the thermodynamics of quantum information processing and introduces the reader to some more state-of-the-art topics in this exciting and rapidly developing research field.

  1. Thermalization from quenching in coupled oscillators

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Sudden quenches in a pair of coupled oscillators produce exact or approximate thermalization of a quantum harmonic oscillator to arbitrary temperatures via solvable equations on the Gaussian covariance matrix.

  2. Contextuality in anomalous heat flow

    quant-ph 2024-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Anomalous heat flow occurs in quantum prepare-transform-measure protocols only when noncontextuality inequalities are violated, for evolution times in (0, τ_c), with analysis of an existing experiment and extension to...

  3. Van der Waals Gravity Theory

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A van der Waals-inspired modification to general relativity renders the gravitational coupling dynamical, providing a mechanism to avoid Big Bang and black hole singularities.

  4. Thermodynamics of quantum processes: An operational framework for free energy and reversible athermality

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0

    For quantum channels, athermality distillation and formation under Gibbs-preserving superchannels both converge asymptotically to the channel's relative-entropy free energy, making the resource theory asymptotically r...
