Entering the deep QuAntum Regimes of NOnequilibrium Thermodynamics
Can we extend nonequilibrium thermodynamics to probe complex quantum phenomena? In the 90s, the scope of thermodynamics broadened to include small systems and far-fromequilibrium transformations. Building on these advances, the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics has recently lead to breakthroughs formulating nonequilibrium thermodynamics in the quantum regime. Motivations range from the search of quantum advantages in heat engines or quantum batteries, to the expression of global constraints on many-body quantum dynamics stemming from the Second Law. However, deep quantum regimes where largest deviations from classical thermodynamics are expected remain elusive, limiting applications:…
