The tight Second Law inequality for coherent quantum systems and finite-size heat baths

Quantum versions of the second law of thermodynamics proposed so far required an infinite bath and ideal energy storage in order to be tight. Here, Łobejko loosens these requirements, proving a tight upper bound on the average work that can be extracted in a quantum scenario.
