Current Research
In view of continuous progress in quantum technologies to create smaller and smaller devices, it becomes crucial for us to understand the thermodynamics of microscopic quantum systems. While classical thermodynamics is extremely successful in predicting the statistical behaviour of macroscopic objects, emerging field of quantum thermodynamics goes beyond it, by accounting for effects imposed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Therefore our primary aim is to acquire sufficient insights into these fundamental issues in order to make a bridge between thermodynamics and quantum statistical mechanics at both conceptual and operational levels.
