Motivated by a recent disagreement about the claim that fluctuations in the free energy operator bound the charging power of a quantum battery, we present a critical analysis of the original derivation. The analysis shows that the above claim does not hold for both closed- and open-system dynamics. Our results indicate that the free energy operator is not a consistent quantifying operator for the work content of a charging quantum battery.

Free energy is of central importance for understanding the properties of physical systems at finite temperatures. While in the zero temperature limit the system should evolve to a state of minimum energy (Section 2.3), this is not necessarily the case at a finite temperature. When an open system exchanges energy with the outside world (a thermostat) and maintains a constant temperature, its evolution proceeds towards minimizing its free energy. For example, a crystal turns into a liquid when the temperature exceeds its melting temperature precisely because the free energy of the liquid state becomes lower than that of the crystalline state. In the context of dislocation simulations, free energy is all important when one has to decide which of the possible core configurations the dislocation is likely to adopt at a given temperature.

This paper addresses the discussion on probabilistic features of the concept of decoherence as it appeared in quantum physics. Given a Lindblad-type generator of an open system dynamics, we derive applicable criteria to characterize decoherent behaviour.

Dynamical semigroups have become the key structure for describing open system dynamics in all of physics. Bounded generators are known to be of a standard form, due to Gorini, Kossakowski, Sudarshan and Lindblad. This form is often used also in the unbounded case, but rather little is known about the general form of unbounded generators. In this paper we first give a precise description of the standard form in the unbounded case, emphasizing intuition, and collecting and even proving the basic results around it. We also give a cautionary example showing that the standard form must not be read too naively. Further examples are given of semigroups, which appear to be probability preserving to first order, but are not for finite times. Based on these, we construct examples of generators which are not of standard form.
