Efficient Quantum Work Reservoirs at the Nanoscale
Jinghao Lyu, Alexander B. Boyd, James P. Crutchfield
When reformulated as a resource theory, thermodynamics can analyze system behaviors in the single-shot regime. In this, the work required to implement state transitions is bounded…

Trajectory Class Fluctuation Theorem
Gregory Wimsatt, Alexander B. Boyd, James P. Crutchfield
The Trajectory Class Fluctuation Theorem (TCFT) substantially strengthens the Second Law of Thermodynamics -- that, in point of fact, can be a rather weak bound on resource fluxes.…
