Catalysis of entanglement and other quantum resources
In 1835, Jacob Berzelius observed a common feature among several chemical reactions:
they all required an additional substance, which remained unchanged in the process. He …

Fundamental limits on anomalous energy flows in correlated quantum systems
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 …

Coherence manipulation in asymmetry and thermodynamics
TV Kondra, R Ganardi, A Streltsov - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
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 …
