Quantum thermodynamics of correlated-catalytic state conversion at small scale

N Shiraishi, T Sagawa - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS

auxiliary system called catalyst, which assists in state conversion while its own state remains …

Correlated catalyst in quantum thermodynamics

N Shiraishi - Europhysics Letters, 2025 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Characterizing symmetry-protected thermal equilibrium by work extraction

Y Mitsuhashi, K Kaneko, T Sagawa - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
The second law of thermodynamics states that work cannot be extracted from thermal
equilibrium, whose quantum formulation is known as complete passivity; a state is called …

Beyond iid in the Resource Theory of Asymmetry: An Information-Spectrum Approach for Quantum Fisher Information

K Yamaguchi, H Tajima - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Energetic coherence is indispensable for various operations, including precise
measurement of time and acceleration of quantum manipulations. Since energetic …

Variance of relative surprisal as single-shot quantifier

P Boes, NHY Ng, H Wilming - PRX Quantum, 2022 - APS
The variance of (relative) surprisal, also known as varentropy, so far mostly plays a role in
information theory as quantifying the leading-order corrections to asymptotic independent …
