The current research activity of Stefano concerns the theoretical investigation of out-of-equilibrium dynamics and stochastic thermodynamics in the quantum regime. These studies focus on quantum fluctuations theorems and are aimed at characterizing irreversible quantum dynamics thanks to the computation of the quantum entropy production. Recently, his research interests also include the investigation on how quantum coherence and quantum correlations have to be accounted in work and heat distributions, and the evaluation of the thermodynamic cost of the measurement of a quantum system with a macroscopic apparatus. Apart from their relevance in theoretical physics, the main findings of these studies are aimed at being employed in quantum technologies and quantum engineering.
