Title: Thermal operations.

Abstract: Thermal operations is a physically motivated class of completely positive maps on a single quantum system characterized by state and Hamiltonian - energy operator. I present existing results on characterisation of the class, and its convex structure.  In particular I discuss the open question, of whether the class is equal to the class of completely positive maps that preserve equilibrium state, and commute with time evolution.
