Quantum stochastic thermodynamics of macroscopic systems: an algebraic approach
Antoine Rignon-Bret, Cyril Elouard
We build a framework for the thermodynamics of macroscopic quantum systems. In contrast with approaches requiring access to the full density matrix, our framework relies on a coars…

Thermodynamics of light emission
Antoine Rignon-Bret
Some interactions between classical or quantum fields and matter are known to be irreversible processes. Here we associate an entropy to the electromagnetic field from well-known n…

Thermodynamics of precision in quantum nano-machines
Antoine Rignon-Bret, Giacomo Guarnieri, John Goold +1
Fluctuations strongly affect the dynamics and functionality of nanoscale thermal machines. Recent developments in stochastic thermodynamics have shown that fluctuations in many far…
