\chapter{Quantum-Thermodynamics from a Unitary Perspective}
\label{sec:basic_thermo}
\label{sec:therm_results}
After the precision studies of \cref{sec:hopsvsanalyt,sec:prec_sim} we
pause for a brief interlude to introduce some notions that are being
referred to in the subsequent applications of the formalism developed
in \cref{chap:flow}.
turn to applications of the formalism developed in \cref{chap:flow}
that are related to thermodynamic questions\fixme{add some
citations}. Because the NMQSD HOPS provide access to the global
unitary dynamics of system (working medium) and bath, it is
predestined to be put to use in this field.
We will begin with some theoretical notions in \cref{sec:basic_thermo}
and then continue to apply them to some very simple cases in
\cref{sec:singlemod,sec:otto,sec:antizeno}.
\section{Some Theoretical Notions}
\label{sec:basic_thermo}
The field of quantum thermodynamics is a complex one and we will
restrict the account given here to the minimum required for the
presentation of the subsequent results. A comprehensive account can be
