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 …

I show that nondecreasing entropy provides a necessary and sufficient condition to convert
the state of a physical system into a different state by a reversible transformation that acts on …

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 …

Recent years have enjoyed an overwhelming interest in quantum thermodynamics, a field of
research aimed at understanding thermodynamic tasks performed in the quantum regime …

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 …

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