Quantum Thermodynamics
We are interested in energy transport at small scales taking place when a small systems is interacting with several
environemnts. In such conditions small quantum systems may act as thermal machines or, as in the case or trapped ions,
anomalous transpost of energy takes place between two reservoirs. You can read more about it in our recent work on thermal machines: in Phys. Rev. E Vol. 87, pp. 042131 (2013), in Sci. Rep. Vol. 4, pp. 3949(9) (2014), in Phys. Rev. E Vol. 90, pp. 062124 (2014) in Phys. Rev.

Quantum Correlations, such as Entanglement and Discord are at the core of Quantum Physics. Their analysis in continuous variable systems, as interacting non-resonant harmonic oscillators
is one of our interests. You can read more about it in our recent work in Phys. Rev. A Vol. 86, pp. 012110 (2012), in Phys. Rev. A Vol. 88, pp. 012309 (2013) , in Phys. Rev. A Vol. 88, pp. 042303 (2013) and in Phys. Rev. E Vol. 91, pp. 062123 (2015)

A system in quantum superposition shows intereference effects but in contact with an enviroment interferences dissapear due to decoherence.
