Continuous thermomajorization and a complete set of laws for Markovian thermal processes

Matteo Lostaglio et al.

Summary: This article presents a framework that overcomes the limitations of current dynamical and information theory approaches in quantum thermodynamics. The framework provides a complete set of generalized entropy production inequalities for non-equilibrium transformations, and can be simplified to a verifiable set of constraints. Importantly, the framework is constructive, returning explicit protocols for any allowed transformation.

Capacity of non-Markovianity to boost the efficiency of molecular switches

Giovanni Spaventa et al.

Summary: This study combines the concepts of quantum resource theory and divisibility classes of quantum channels to prove that memory effects can increase the efficiency of photoisomerization, which is not achievable under purely thermal Markovian evolution. This provides rigorous evidence that memory effects can serve as a resource in quantum thermodynamics at the nanoscale.

Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum

Gabriel T. Landi et al.

Summary: Entropy production is a crucial quantity in finite-time thermodynamic processes, serving as a tool to extend thermodynamic considerations to nonequilibrium processes. Despite the lack of a unified theory for entropy production in general processes, progress has been made through frameworks like stochastic thermodynamics and quantum information theory. This has led to the development of a new generation of experiments addressing stochastic thermodynamic processes and the impact of entropy production.

All States are Universal Catalysts in Quantum Thermodynamics

Patryk Lipka-Bartosik et al.

Summary: Quantum catalysis is a research field that demonstrates the remarkable property of multicopy states in catalyzing reactions within the framework of resource theory. It shows that resourceful states can serve as catalysts for all allowed transformations without the need for fine-tuning or very large-dimension catalysts.

Quantum Advantage in Simulating Stochastic Processes

Kamil Korzekwa et al.

Summary: The study shows that quantum dynamics can simulate classical processes that require memory, with advantages in cost, and that Markovian master equations with quantum controls can access more classical states compared to those with classical controls, potentially leading to advantages in cooling protocols.

Open system dynamics from thermodynamic compatibility

Roie Dann et al.

Summary: The text discusses the relationship between thermodynamics and quantum Markovian dynamics, proving the general form of the master equation through mathematical conditions and spectral analysis. It extends thermodynamical considerations to dynamical processes and compares results with master equations from microscopic derivations. The findings suggest that coherence is not generated spontaneously under steady-state transport, and the global master equation is the thermodynamically compatible choice for nondriven systems in a bipartite system-environment setup.
