    "abstract": "We study the relaxation of a quantum system towards the thermal equilibrium\nusing tools developed within the context of quantum information theory. We\nconsider a model in which the system is a qubit, and reaches equilibrium after\nseveral successive two-qubit interactions (thermalizing machines) with qubits\nof a reservoir. We characterize completely the family of thermalizing machines.\nThe model shows a tight link between dissipation, fluctuations, and the maximal\nentanglement that can be generated by the machines. The interplay of quantum\nand classical information processes that give rise to practical irreversibility\nis discussed.",
