Trio of papers on an NJP focus issue on Quantum Thermodynamics

Three QTeQ papers have been included in the focus issue on Quantum Thermodynamics published by New Journal of Physics.
The first one, in collaboration with Prof. Augusto Roncaglia and Prof. Juan Pablo Paz from University of Buenos Aires, proposes an experimental setup to measure the full probability distribution of work in a system of atomic ensemble.

The second one, in collaboration with Nikolai Kiesel from University of Vienna, investigates the quantum thermodynamics of optomechanical systems with special emphasis on the work distribution.

The last one, in collaboration with Prof. Anna Sanpera’s group from Barcelona, finds the limit of the accuracy of temperature estimation in ultracold lattice gases proposing an experimental setup to get close to the bound.
