We consider heat exchange processes between non-equilibrium aging systems (in their activated regime) and the thermal bath in contact. We discuss a scenario where two different heat exchange processes concur in the overall heat dissipation:…

When an isolated system is brought in contact with a heat bath its final energy is random and follows the Gibbs distribution -- a cornerstone of statistical physics. The system's energy can also be changed by performing non-adiabatic work…
We consider the problem of finding the energy minimum of a complex quantum Hamiltonian by employing a non-Markovian bath prepared in a low energy state. The energy minimization problem is thus turned into a thermodynamic cooling protocol in…
Markovian master equations (formally known as quantum dynamical semigroups) can be used to describe the evolution of a quantum state $\rho$ when in contact with a memoryless thermal bath. This approach has had much success in describing the…
