It proposes methods to define and measure work in the quantum regime. The most important part of the thesis focuses on hybrid optomechanical devices, evidencing that they are proper candidates to measure directly the fluctuations of work and the corresponding fluctuation theorem. Such devices could also give rise to the observation of mechanical lasing and cooling, based on mechanisms similar to a heat engine. The final part of the thesis studies how quantum coherence can improve work extraction in superconducting circuits. All the proposals greatly clarify the concept of work since they are based on measurable quantities in state of the art devices. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aOptics 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aThermodynamics 606 $aOptics and Photonics 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aThermodynamics. 615 0$aOptics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aThermodynamics. 615 24$aOptics and Photonics. 676 $a536.7 700 $aMonsel$b Juliette$0843790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427685603321 996 $aQuantum Thermodynamics and Optomechanics$91882650 997 $aUNINA
