The point of departure of this book is a triad of themes:
information theory, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. These
are related: thermodynamics and quantum mechanics form the basis of
quantum thermodynamics; information and quantum mechanics underly,
inter alia, the notorious quantum measurement problem; and
information and thermodynamics have much to say about control
limits in the tension between micro- and macro-descriptions. Why
does the world around us typically look thermal-from cosmology down
to individual embedded spins? Do informational measures constitute
additional (independent) parameters beyond physical ones? Is the
transition between mechanical and thermal systems gradual or
discontinuous? Pertinent examples can be found in various processes
implemented on small quantum systems. Particularly attractive are
model systems that can be treated thermodynamically, but-to some
extent-also exactly, that is, based on pure quantum dynamics. This
possibility opens the door to nano-thermodynamics. In this sense,
the book aims at a modern perspective of nanoscale applications,
defined here as a potential realization of various functions as
constrained by given resources.
