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.

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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...

  3. Steady-state coherence in multipartite quantum systems: its connection with thermodynamic quantities and impact on quantum thermal machines

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Work and heat currents in two-ensemble common-bath and cascaded quantum thermal machines are decomposed into local and non-local parts, with each part tied to a specific class of steady-state quantum coherence.
