This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between
quantum information theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on
several trending topics including the foundations of statistical mechanics,
resource theories, entanglement in thermodynamic settings, fluctuation theorems
and thermal machines. This is not a comprehensive review of the diverse field
of quantum thermodynamics; rather, it is a convenient entry point for the
thermo-curious information theorist. Furthermore this review should facilitate
the unification and understanding of different interdisciplinary approaches
emerging in research groups around the world.Comment: published version. 34 pages, 6 figure
