Table of ContentsReviewsThis book of Gunter Mahler, an early contributor to the field of quantum thermodynamics, comes at the right time to provide insights into this exciting field at the intersection of information theory, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics. -Prof. Martin B. Plenio, University of Ulm, Germany This interesting book by one of the pioneers of quantum thermodynamics provides an in-depth discussion of two main statistical theories (information theory and quantum mechanics) and relates them to the major macroscopic theory, viz. thermodynamics. The presentation is based on `big questions,' issues that drive the foundation research and can eventually display the very limits of studied theories. Thus this book not only describes the existing results, but also tends to guide the future research. -Dr. Armen E. Allahverdyan, A.

Alikhanyan National Laboratory, Armenia Author InformationGünter Mahler obtained his doctorate in theoretical physics in 1972 and habilitation in theoretical physics in 1977 from the University of Regensburg, Germany. Since 1978, he was professor of theoretical physics at Institut für Theoretische Physik I, Universität Stuttgart, Germany, from where he retired in 2011. From 2004 to 2010, he was dean for international studies at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Universität Stuttgart. Prof. Mahler’s research interests include quantum system theory, quantum stochastics, quantum networks, quantum control, quantum measurement and sensorics, quantum information processing, quantum thermodynamics and quantum transport, and quantum thermodynamical machines.
