• Abstract: We discuss exchange scenario's thermodynamic uncertainty relations for the work done on a two-qubit entangled nonequilibrium steady state obtained by coupling the two qubits and putting each of them in weak contact with a thermal bath. In this way we investigate the use of entangled nonequilibrium steady states as end-points of thermodynamic cycles. In this framework, we prove analytically that for a paradigmatic unitary it is possible to construct an exchange scenario's thermodynamic uncertainty relation. However, despite holding in many cases, we also show that such relation ceases to be valid when considering other suitable unitary quenches. Furthermore, this paradigmatic example allows us to shed light on the role of the entanglement between the two qubits for precise work absorption. By considering the projection of the entangled steady state onto the set of separable states, we provide examples where such projection implies an increase of the relative uncertainty, showing the usefulness of entanglement.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  We derive a family of TURs that explores higher order moments of the entropy production. The resulting bound holds in both classical and quantum regimes. We draw a connection between our TURs and the existence of correlations between the entropy production and the thermodynamic quantity under consideration.

  We study the entropy production in open quantum systems whose time evolution is described by a class of non-unital quantum maps. In particular, we consider Kraus operators that can be related to a nonequilibrium potential. Results are applied to the thermalization of a qubitibility with non-Markovian transient.

We observe the appearance of a new term of work, which represents the energy cost of rotating the Bloch vector in presence of the external field that defines the local Hamiltonian. In order to illustrate our findings we study, from both perspectives, matter-radiation interaction processes for two different systems.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  An explicit expression for the temperature of an open two-level quantum system is obtained. This temperature coincides with the environment temperature if the system reaches thermal equilibrium with a heat reservoir. We show that within this theoretical framework the total entropy production can be partitioned into two contributions.
