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.
