A short story of quantum and information thermodynamics

This Colloquium is a fast journey through the build-up of key thermodynamical concepts, i.e. work, heat and irreversibility -- how they relate to information. Born at time industrial revolution optimize exploitation thermal resources, these concepts have been adapted small systems where fluctuations are predominant. Extending framework quantum great challenge thermodynamics, that opens exciting research lines e.g. measurement fueled engines or thermodynamics driven-dissipative systems. On more applied side, it provides tools energetic consumption future computers.
