Description

This book provides an introduction to the emerging field of quantum thermodynamics, with particular focus on its relation to quantum information and its implications for quantum computers and next generation quantum technologies. The text, aimed at graduate level physics students with a working knowledge of quantum mechanics and statistical physics, provides a brief overview of the development of classical thermodynamics and its quantum formulation in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 then explores typical thermodynamic settings, such as cycles and work extraction protocols, when the working material is genuinely quantum. Finally, Chapter 3 explores the thermodynamics of quantum information processing and introduces the reader to some more state of-the-art topics in this exciting and rapidly developing research field.

Author Biography:

Dr Sebastian Deffner received his doctorate from the University of Augsburg in 2011. He has held positions at the University of Maryland, College Park and the Los Alamos National Laboratory and since 2016 he has been on the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), where he leads the quantum thermodynamics group. Dr Steve Campbell is Senior Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, after being awarded the Science Foundation Ireland starting investigations research grant. He spent time at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University, Japan in 2013 and was awarded a fellowship from the INFN Sezione di Milano in 2017.
