  "abstract": "We propose a consistent nonequilibrium thermodynamics for a single quantum level strongly coupled to multiple reservoirs and subjected to a slow driving. We use the framework of nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF) and treat the driving within first order gradient expansion. All laws of thermodynamics are satisfied and stochastic thermodynamics is recovered in the weak coupling limit.",
