我对量子热力学的资源理论方法进行了详尽的介绍。我将以一种简单的方式介绍拆解和证明该理论核心陈述所需的技术机制。讨论的主题包括所谓的“热力学第二定律”、热力学优势以及量子相干性演化的对称性约束。在基本应用中，我明确地给出了确定性作功提取和形成的界限，讨论了单个量子比特理论的完全解，并给出了相干转移的不可逆性。其目的是促进那些有兴趣参与和促进这一专题的研究人员的工作，介绍其核心假设的范围和动机，并讨论资源理论和补充办法之间的关系。
I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery necessary to unpack and prove the core statements of the theory. The topics covered include the so-called ‘many second laws of thermodynamics’, thermo-majorisation and symmetry constraints on the evolution of quantum coherence. Among the elementary applications, I explicitly work out the bounds on deterministic work extraction and formation, discuss the complete solution of the theory for a single qubit and present the irreversibility of coherence transfers. The aim is to facilitate the task of those researchers interested in engaging and contributing to this topic, presenting scope and motivation of its core assumptions and discussing the relation between the resource theory and complementary approaches.
