Quantum thermodynamics information

Quantum thermodynamics^[1]^[2] is the study of the relations between two independent physical theories: thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. The two independent theories address the physical phenomena of light and matter. In 1905, Albert Einstein argued that the requirement of consistency between thermodynamics and electromagnetism^[3] leads to the conclusion that light is quantized, obtaining the relation $E=h\nu$ . This paper is the dawn of quantum theory. In a few decades quantum theory became established with an independent set of rules.^[4] Currently quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum mechanics. It differs from quantum statistical mechanics in the emphasis on dynamical processes out of equilibrium. In addition, there is a quest for the theory to be relevant for a single individual quantum system.
