商品描述

Quantum Thermodynamics is a novel research field which explores the emergence of thermodynamics from quantum theory and addresses thermodynamic phenomena which appear in finite-size, non-equilibrium and finite-time contexts. Blending together elements from open quantum systems, statistical mechanics, quantum many-body physics, and quantum information theory, it pinpoints thermodynamic advantages and barriers emerging from genuinely quantum properties such as quantum coherence and correlations. Owing to recent experimental efforts, the field is moving quickly towards practical applications, such as nano-scale heat devices, or thermodynamically optimised protocols for emergent quantum technologies.

Starting from the basics, the present volume reviews some of the most recent developments, as well as some of the most important open problems in quantum thermodynamics. The self-contained chapters provide concise and topical introductions to researchers who are new to the field. Experts will find them useful as a reference for the current state-of-the-art. In six sections the book covers topics such as quantum heat engines and refrigerators, fluctuation theorems, the emergence of thermodynamic equilibrium, thermodynamics of strongly coupled systems, as well as various information theoretic approaches including Landauer's principle and thermal operations. It concludes with a section dedicated to recent quantum thermodynamics experiments and experimental prospects on a variety of platforms ranging from cold atoms to photonic systems, and NV centres.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

量子熱力學是一個新興的研究領域，探索熱力學如何從量子理論中產生，並處理在有限大小、非平衡和有限時間背景下出現的熱力學現象。它融合了開放量子系統、統計力學、量子多體物理和量子信息理論的元素，指出由真正的量子特性（如量子相干性和相關性）所產生的熱力學優勢和障礙。由於最近的實驗努力，該領域正迅速朝向實際應用發展，例如納米尺度的熱設備或熱力學優化的協議，以應對新興的量子技術。

本書從基礎開始，回顧了一些最新的發展，以及量子熱力學中一些最重要的未解決問題。這些自成體系的章節為對該領域不熟悉的研究者提供了簡明而具針對性的介紹。專家們也會發現這些章節作為當前最前沿的參考資料非常有用。本書分為六個部分，涵蓋了量子熱機和冰箱、波動定理、熱力學平衡的出現、強耦合系統的熱力學，以及包括蘭道原理和熱操作在內的各種信息理論方法。最後一部分專門介紹了最近的量子熱力學實驗及其在從冷原子到光子系統和NV中心等各種平台上的實驗前景。
