About the author
Philipp Strasberg is a Ramon y Cajal fellow at the Institute of Physics of Cantabria in Santander working on a wide variety of topics in nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics. He completed his PhD in 2015 under the supervision of Tobias Brandes at the Technical University of Berlin, before joining Massimiliano Esposito's group at the University of Luxembourg for two years. From 2018 to 2024, he was supported by independent postdoctoral fellowships to work at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in collaboration with Anna Sanpera and Andreas Winter.

Additional text
In Quantum Stochastic Thermodynamics, Philip Strasberg has succeeded in giving clarity on an ever evolving and often misleading topic. I am convinced that this book will be the starting point for researchers and graduate students entering the field. It is written in a coherent fashion covering all of the essential material on what I believe, in lieu of the prevalence of imperfect quantum technologies, will become increasingly important.
