The First Law of Quantum Field Thermodynamics
Adam Teixidó-Bonfill, Alvaro Ortega, Eduardo Martín-Martínez
We study the notion of work fluctuations in quantum field theory, highlighting that the most common definitions used in finite-dimensional quantum systems cannot be applied to quan…

Work distributions on quantum fields
Alvaro Ortega, Emma McKay, Álvaro M. Alhambra +1
We study the work cost of processes in quantum fields without the need of projective measurements, which are always ill defined in quantum field theory. Inspired by interferometry…
