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 …

Entanglement quantification aims to assess the value of quantum states for quantum
information processing tasks. A closely related problem is state convertibility, asking whether …

Thermal operations (TO) are a generic description for allowed state transitions under
thermodynamic restrictions. However, the quest for simpler methods to encompass all these …

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 …

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 …

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

Entanglement is a fundamental resource in quantum information processing, yet
understanding its manipulation and transformation remains a challenge. Many tasks rely on …

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 …

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 …

Quantum teleportation is the process of transferring quantum information using classical
communication and pre-shared entanglement. This process can benefit from the use of …
