Quantum thermodynamics employs quantum mechanics to study thermodynamical
properties of an open quantum system. In this talk, I will demonstrate a
framework to obtain thermodynamics of a non-equilibrium quantum system out of
its dynamics. In particular, I will discuss rules governing heat and work flow
and entropy exchange in a quantum system in the presence of interaction and
correlations with an environment. I will show how dynamical properties such as
Markovianity and non-Markovianity affect entropy production in one of the sub-
systems. I will also introduce a non-equlibrium temperature.
