Quantum Thermodynamics

Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below the thermodynamic limit, in Non-equilibrium situations and with the full inclusion of quantum effects. Quantum thermodynamics investigates heat, work, temperature, as well as related concepts in quantum systems.

The advances and the potential of future nanoscale applications of Quantum thermodynamics, including statistical physics, many-body theory, mesoscopic physics and quantum information theory, who bring various tools and methods to the field.
