There are several mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger
picture expresses quantum states in terms of wavefunctions over, eg position or momentum …

The presence of noise or the interaction with an environment can radically change the
dynamics of observables of an otherwise isolated quantum system. We derive a bound on …

In this tutorial, we present the definition, interpretation, and properties of some of the main
quasiprobabilities that can describe the statistics of measurement outcomes evaluated at …

Operator noncommutation, a hallmark of quantum theory, limits measurement precision,
according to uncertainty principles. Wielded correctly, though, noncommutation can boost …

Kirkwood-Dirac (KD) quasiprobability is a quantum analog of phase space probability of
classical statistical mechanics, allowing negative or/and nonreal values. It gives an …

Recently, an unconditional advantage has been demonstrated for the process of charging of
a quantum battery in a collisional model [Seah et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 100601 (2021) …

Although classical thermal machines power industries and modern living, quantum thermal
engines have yet to prove their utility. Here, we demonstrate a useful quantum absorption …

Recent work has revealed the central role played by the Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobability
(KDQ) as a tool to properly account for non-classical features in the context of condensed …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations express a trade-off between precision, defined as the
noise-to-signal ratio of a generic current, and the amount of associated entropy production …

Kirkwood-Dirac representations of quantum states are increasingly finding use in many
areas within quantum theory. Usually, representations of this sort are only applied to provide …
