Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

I give a self-contained introduction to the resource theory approach to quantum
thermodynamics. I will introduce in an elementary manner the technical machinery …

In this work, we address fundamental limitations of quantum teleportation—the process of
transferring quantum information using classical communication and preshared …

Thermodynamics at the nanoscale is known to differ significantly from its familiar
macroscopic counterpart: The possibility of state transitions is not determined by free energy …

Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and
thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of …

We show that it is impossible to perform ideal projective measurements on quantum systems
using finite resources. We identify three fundamental features of ideal projective …

Temperature is usually defined for physical systems at thermal equilibrium. Nevertheless
one may wonder if it would be possible to attribute a meaningful notion of temperature to an …

Quantum resource manipulation may include an ancillary state called a catalyst, which aids
the transformation while restoring its original form at the end, and characterizing the …

In classical thermodynamics energy always flows from the hotter system to the colder one.
However, if these systems are initially correlated, the energy flow can reverse, making the …

To what extent do thermodynamic resource theories capture physically relevant constraints?
Inspired by quantum computation, we define a set of elementary thermodynamic gates that …
