• Abstract: Despite being a well-established operational approach to quantify entanglement, R\'enyi entropy calculations have been plagued by their computational complexity. We introduce here a theoretical framework based on an optimal thermodynamic integration scheme, where the R\'enyi entropy can be efficiently evaluated using regularizing paths. This approach avoids slowly convergent fluctuating contributions and leads to low-variance estimates. In this way, large system sizes and high levels of entanglement in model or first-principles Hamiltonians are within our reach. We demonstrate it in the one-dimensional quantum Ising model and perform the evaluation of entanglement entropy in the formic acid dimer, by discovering that its two shared protons are entangled even above room temperature.

• Entropy production in the mesoscopic-leads formulation of quantum thermodynamics [0.0]
  entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core problem of quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. Recently, the mesoscopic leads approach has emerged as a powerful method for studying such quantum systems strongly coupled to multiple thermal baths. We show numerically, that a system coupled to a single bath exhibits a thermal fixed point at the level of the embedding.

We demonstrate that thermalisation starting from a general state is accompanied by a persistent non-zero mean rate of change of the environmental component of entropy production.

  We develop a general approach to compute the symmetry-resolved R'enyi and von Neumann entanglement entropies (SREE) of thermodynamic macrostates in interacting integrable systems. We derive an explicit simple formula for the von Neumann SREE, which we show to coincide with the thermodynamic Yang-Yang entropy of an effective macrostate determined by the charge sector.

In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.
