This book explores some of the connections between dissipative and
quantum effects from a theoretical point of view. It focuses on
three main topics: the relation between synchronization and quantum
correlations, the thermodynamical properties of fluctuations, and
the performance of quantum thermal machines. Dissipation effects
have a profound impact on the behavior and properties of quantum
systems, and the unavoidable interaction with the surrounding
environment, with which systems continuously exchange information,
energy, angular momentum and matter, is ultimately responsible for
decoherence phenomena and the emergence of classical behavior.
However, there is a wide intermediate regime in which the interplay
between dissipative and quantum effects gives rise to a plethora of
rich and striking phenomena that has just started to be understood.
In addition, the recent breakthrough techniques in controlling and
manipulating quantum systems in the laboratory have made this
phenomenology accessible in experiments and potentially applicable.
