What are the novel features of thermodynamics when applied to small (also called
mesoscopic) systems? Is it necessary to revisit some of the main concepts that we learned
from standard thermodynamics? How are energy dissipation and efficiency related for non-
equilibrium small systems where energy fluctuations are dominant? Finally, what are the
implications in quantum systems already governed by quantum fluctuations? Answering
such questions is one of the main goals of this new discipline.
