Title: Resource-theoretic approach to quantum thermodynamics 

Abstract: The quantum resource theory is a general framework that quantitatively describes key quantum features underlying the given operational setting. It has recently been applied to several important quantities, such as quantum entanglement, magic, and non-Gaussianity, to discover the ultimate potential and limitations of quantum information processing driven by those quantum resources. Here, we discuss the application of the resource theory framework to quantum thermodynamics, allowing for information-theoretic characterization of the ultimate capability of thermodynamics processes. We review the basic ideas, provide an overview of the recent development, and discuss future prospects.
