  Quantum thermodynamics seeks to extend non-equilibrium stochastic
thermodynamics to small quantum systems where non-classical features are
essential to its description. Such a research area has recently provided
meaningful theoretical and experimental advances by exploring the wealth and
the power of quantum features along with informational aspects of a system's
thermodynamics. The relevance of such investigations is related to the fact
that quantum technological devices are currently at the forefront of science
and engineering applications. This short review article provides an overview of
some concepts in quantum thermodynamics highlighting test-of-principles
experiments using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.
