We demonstrate how to incorporate a catalyst to enhance the performance of a heat engine.
Specifically, we analyze efficiency in one of the simplest engine models, which operates in …

In the classical regime, thermodynamic state transformations are governed by the free
energy. This is also called as the second law of thermodynamics. Previous works showed …

We investigate catalysis in the framework of elementary thermal operations, leveraging the
distinct features of such operations to illuminate catalytic dynamics. As groundwork, we …

What are the fundamental limits and advantages of using a catalyst to aid thermodynamic
transformations between quantum systems? In this paper, we answer this question by …

From both intuitive and physical perspectives, it is generally recognized that within a
resource theory framework, free operations cannot broadcast a resource state due to their …

Using local operations and classical communication (LOCC), entanglement can be
manipulated but not created. However, entanglement can be $ embezzled $. In this work, we …

We investigate the thermodynamic constraints on the pivotal task of entanglement
generation using out-of-equilibrium states through a model-independent framework with …

We provide a comprehensive treatment of embezzlement of entanglement in the setting of
von Neumann algebras and discuss its relation to the classification of von Neumann …

In this short review article, we present recent progress in quantum thermodynamics in the
framework with a correlated catalyst. We examine two key properties of thermal operations …

Drawing inspiration from transportation theory, in this work, we introduce the notions of “well-
structured” and “stable” Gibbs states and we investigate their implications for quantum …
