COURSE ABSTRACT
Quantum thermodynamics arises when extending the laws and ideas from classical thermodynamics to the microscopical, i.e. quantum, regime. In this course, we will address the fundamentals of the theory focusing on the laws of quantum thermodynamics. We will also present the main practical applications of this theory, such as quantum thermal machines, and point out the main conceptual issues when dealing with quantities such as heat, work or entropy. It is convenient to know the fundamentals of classical thermodynamics and quantum theory to assist. The course is structured in four sessions:
1. Introduction and motivation. Notions of Classical Thermodynamics
2. Open quantum systems, Lindblad Equation and First Law of Quantum Thermodynamics
3. Second Law of Quantum Thermodynamics and entropy production
4. Quantum thermal engines and batteries
