    "abstract": "The quantum thermodynamic behavior of small systems is investigated in\npresence of finite quantum dissipation. We consider the archetype cases of a\ndamped harmonic oscillator and a free quantum Brownian particle. A main finding\nis that quantum dissipation helps to ensure the validity of the Third Law. For\nthe quantum oscillator, finite damping replaces the zero-coupling result of an\nexponential suppression of the specific heat at low temperatures by a power-law\nbehavior. Rather intriguing is the behavior of the free quantum Brownian\nparticle. In this case, quantum dissipation is able to restore the Third Law:\nInstead of being constant down to zero temperature, the specific heat now\nvanishes proportional to temperature with an amplitude that is inversely\nproportional to the ohmic dissipation strength. A distinct subtlety of finite\nquantum dissipation is the result that the various thermodynamic functions of\nthe sub-system do not only depend on the dissipation strength but depend as\nwell on the prescription employed in their definition.",
