Abstract
Low temperature phenomena and methods are quantum thermodynamics per se. Modern engineered quantum systems, for instance those used for superconducting quantum information processing and mesoscopic electron transport, provide working media for realizing devices such as quantum heat engines and refrigerators and a testbed for fundamental principles and phenomena in thermodynamics of quantum systems and processes.

期刊介绍:
Europhysics News is the magazine of the European physics community. It is owned by the European Physical Society and produced in cooperation with EDP Sciences. It is distributed to all our Individual Members and many institutional subscribers. Most European national societies receive EPN for further distribution. The total circulation is currently about 25000 copies per issue. It aims to provide physicists at all levels, ranging from post graduate students to senior managers working in both industry and the public sector, with a balanced overview of the scientific and organizational aspects of physics and related disciplines at a European level. Sections covered: ◦Activities ◦Features ◦News and views
