To understand in detail the relation between unitary quantum theory that describes our world at the microscopic scale and thermodynamics, which was long believed only to apply to macroscopic objects, is one of the most interesting and long-standing problems in physics. Recently, this problem has received renewed attention, in particular from the community of quantum information theory, but also from the field of statistical mechanics, inspired from stochastic thermodynamics. These results suggest that thermodynamics is also relevant for individual quantum systems, provided that they can be brought into contact with thermal baths. In this thesis, I use recently developed tools to provide new results both on fundamental questions, but also o...
