Quantum Stochastic Thermodynamics

Strasberg offers a valuable contribution to the field of thermodynamics, a discipline that provides the underpinnings for analyzing quantum systems. The book will be ideal as a required text for a graduate-level technical elective. It can also be a useful resource for researchers employed in high-tech industries and as a reference for graduate research students in physics and engineering with major interests in developing efficient, cost-effective future generation technologies, e.g., the new generation of thermoelectric power generators. * Raymond Laoulache, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Professor of Mechanical Engineering * A very attractive book covering basic concepts as well as some advanced topics, with worked examples at chapter ends. * Ángel Rivas, Universidad Complutense de Madrid * This coherent presentation of a timely topic is a significant achievement with nothing comparable on the market. * Udo Seifert, University of Stuttgart * Highly welcome by everybody looking for an understandable exposition of the theoretical foundations of a rapidly evolving field. * Andreas Engel, University of Oldenburg * In Quantum Stochastic Thermodynamics, Philip Strasberg has succeeded in giving clarity on an ever evolving and often misleading topic. I am convinced that this book will be the starting point for researchers and graduate students entering the field. It is written in a coherent fashion covering all of the essential material on what I believe, in lieu of the prevalence of imperfect quantum technologies, will become increasingly important. * John Goold, Trinity College, Dublin *
