• Abstract: This paper studies the energy decoherence of an interacting quantum system. It first reviews the experiments that motivated the postulates of quantum mechanics. It then discusses a decoherence that occurs dynamically in a closed system. This effect is studied in interacting quantum systems consisting of an oscillator and spins using analytical and numerical methods. The subsequent results are contrasted with cases with no decoherence. Connections of energy decoherence with thermodynamics are explored.

  Quantum thermodynamics is a powerful theoretical tool for assessing the suitability of quantum materials as platforms for novel technologies. In this Review, we cover the mathematical formulation used to model the quantum thermodynamic behavior of small-scale systems. We discuss theoretical results obtained after applying this approach to model Heisenberg-like spin systems.

• Quantum Engines and Refrigerators [0.0]
  Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into a more useful form that can perform work. In the quantum regime, however, the principles of energy conversion become ambiguous, since quantum phenomena come into play. Our work provides a broad overview of this active field of quantum engines and refrigerators, reviewing the latest theoretical proposals and experimental realizations.
