Quantum Technologies: Many-Body Quantum Coherences and Energy Management in Non-Equilibrium Systems

In view of realizing new quantum technologies, it becomes crucial to manage energy exchanges and thermodynamic tasks at the level of singles quantum systems, where quantum effects may play an important role. In this spirit, this project will explore, from the theoretical point of view and in collaboration with experimental groups, new kinds of quantum machines, based on elementary quantum systems (i.e.
