37. This relation comes directly from the definition of work, (Equation presented), which implies (Equation presented). This is equivalent to Eq. (3), which, together with Eq. (2) gives (Equation presented).

51. This is a result of the quantum adiabatic theorem [26]. We just mention here that a sufficient condition for this theorem to hold is the absence of level crossings. However, this is by no means necessary, as discussed, e.g., in Ref. [27] and references therein.

54. The conditions for a thermodynamic transformation to be a reversible adiabatic one have been established long ago; see, e.g., L. J. Broer, Physica (Amsterdam) 17, 531 (1951); PHYSAG 0031-8914 10.1016/0031-8914(51)90017-1

58. The non-negativity of the nonadiabatic work is the content of the minimal work principle, which is valid well beyond the cases we address here, as discussed in Ref. [27].
59. As mentioned after Eq. (5), Eq. (10) qualifies the nonadiabatic work as a friction; that is, as an unwanted excess energy needed to perform the process, and giving rise to an excess heat the system releases when thermalizing.

65. We notice that Eq. (11) is equivalent to two explicit relationships among relative entropies, which read TBD (ρτ ρB)-TAD (ρτ ρA)=TBD (ρA ρB) =-TAD (ρB ρA)+ (SA-SB) (TA-TB). These two equalities hold for every process (Equation presented) bringing (Equation presented) into (Equation presented); that is, they hold for every final state (Equation presented). Proof: each of the three sides entering Eqs. (18) and (19) is equal to (Equation presented) [as one can show by using Eq. (11) for the first term and by direct evaluation for the others].

67. A possible derivation of Eq. (16) goes as follows: Let (Equation presented) the generating function for the cumulants, with (Equation presented). Then, (Equation presented). Taking (Equation presented), one obtains (Equation presented), which gives Eq. (16).
