Quantum thermodynamics with constrained fluctuations in work
In the standard framework of thermodynamics the work produced or consumed in a process is a random variable whose average is bounded by the change in the free energy of the system. This average work is calculated without regard for the size of its fluctuations. We find that in some processes, such as reversible cooling, the fluctuations of the work given by the change in free energy can diverge...
متن کاملA review of quantum thermodynamics
In this article, we present a brief and elementary review of quantum thermodynamics and its achievements and challenges. This review includes an introduction to some fundamental concepts such as internal energy, heat, work, entropy, entropy production, thermal equilibrium, second law of quantum thermodynamics, relation between thermodynamics and information theory, as well as a discussion of ho...

متن کاملSingle-shot measurement of quantum optical phase.
Although the canonical phase of light, which is defined as the complement of photon number, has been described theoretically by a variety of distinct approaches, there have been no methods proposed for its measurement. Indeed doubts have been expressed about whether or not it is measurable. Here we show how it is possible, at least in principle, to perform a single-shot measurement of the canon...
متن کاملCorrelations in quantum thermodynamics: Heat, work, and entropy production
We provide a characterization of energy in the form of exchanged heat and work between two interacting constituents of a closed, bipartite, correlated quantum system. By defining a binding energy we derive a consistent quantum formulation of the first law of thermodynamics, in which the role of correlations becomes evident, and this formulation reduces to the standard classical picture in relev...
