First and second law of quantum thermodynamics: A consistent derivation based on a microscopic definition of entropy

P Strasberg, A Winter - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS
Deriving the laws of thermodynamics from a microscopic picture is a central quest of
statistical mechanics. This tutorial focuses on the derivation of the first and second law for …

Observational entropy, coarse-grained states, and the Petz recovery map: information-theoretic properties and bounds

F Buscemi, J Schindler, D Šafránek - New Journal of Physics, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Observational entropy provides a general notion of quantum entropy that appropriately
interpolates between Boltzmann's and Gibbs' entropies, and has recently been argued to …

Witnessing quantum chaos using observational entropy

S Pg, R Modak, S Aravinda - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
We study observation entropy (OE) for the quantum kicked top model, whose classical
counterpart possesses different phases: regular, mixed, or chaotic, depending on the …

Observational-entropic study of Anderson localization

R Modak, S Aravinda - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
The notion of the thermodynamic entropy in the context of quantum mechanics is a
controversial topic. Although there were proposals to refer von Neumann entropy as the …

Extracting work from correlated many-body quantum systems

R Salvia, V Giovannetti - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
The presence of correlations in the input state of a noninteracting many-body quantum
system can lead to an increase in the amount of work we can extract from it under global …

Dynamical behavior of quantum correlation entropy under the noisy quantum channel for multiqubit systems

X Zhou - International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2023 - Springer
Quantum correlation entropy is used to measure total non-classical correlation of multiple
states. It is based on a local coarse-grained measurement. Quantum noisy processes have a …

Measuring energy by measuring any other observable

D Šafránek, D Rosa - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
We present a method to estimate the probabilities of outcomes of a quantum observable, its
mean value, and higher moments by measuring any other observable. This method is …
