Traditionally~\cite{Weiss2012,Rivas2012,Breuer2002Jun}, open quantum
systems have stood for a departure form unitary dynamics. Usually a
\emph{small} system with considerably less degrees than the bath it is
coupled to is considered. The main focus however lies on the small
system, whose time development is computed, ideally eliminating the
bath degrees of freedom through various means. As a result, the system
state does not follow the usual unitary time development generated by
the Schr\"odinger equation.

The field of quantum thermodynamics has attracted much recent interest
recently~\cite{Talkner2020Oct,Rivas2019Oct,Riechers2021Apr,Vinjanampathy2016Oct,Binder2018,Kurizki2021Dec,Mukherjee2020Jan,Xu2022Mar}.
