We generalize the classical thermal Mpemba effect (where an initially hot system relaxes faster to the final equilibrium state than a cold one) to open quantum systems coupled to several reservoirs. We show that, in general, two different…

The Mpemba effect refers to the surprising observation where, under certain conditions, a far-from-equilibrium state can relax toward equilibrium faster than a state closer to equilibrium. A paradigmatic example is provided by the curious…
We address two central open problems in the theory of anomalous Mpemba-like relaxations: their extension beyond one spatial dimension and their consistent formulation in the thermodynamic limit. Our framework is the antiferromagnetic Ising…
The Mpemba effect is a thermodynamic anomaly in which a system farther away in temperature from equilibrium thermalizes before one that is initially closer. The effect has been experimentally observed across a wide range of systems,…

We consider the thermodynamic behavior of a disordered interacting electron system in two dimensions. We show that the corrections to the thermodynamic potential in the weakly localized regime give rise to a non monotonic behavior of the…
Correlated quantum systems can exhibit thermodynamic behaviors that defy classical expectations, with anomalous energy flow (AEF) against temperature gradients serving as a paradigmatic example. While AEF has been shown to arise from the…
We discuss the mechanisms of unconventional superconductivity and superfluidity in 3D and 2D fermionic systems with purely repulsive interaction at low densities. We construct phase diagrams of these systems and find the areas of the…
According to a traditional point of view Boltzmann entropy is intimately related to linear Fokker-Planck equations (Smoluchowski, Klein-Kramers, and Rayleigh equations) that describe a well-known nonequilibrium phenomenon: (normal) Brownian…
We study first order phase transitions that occur when the temperature of the system increases and we identify the conditions that lead to super-heating, a phase where the system can heat up arbitrarily. First order phase transitions with…
We study anomalous heat conduction and anomalous diffusion in low dimensional systems ranging from nonlinear lattices, single walled carbon nanotubes, to billiard gas channels. We find that in all discussed systems, the anomalous heat…
