Catalysis in quantum information theory

P Lipka-Bartosik, H Wilming, NHY Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
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 …

Catalysis of entanglement and other quantum resources

C Datta, TV Kondra, M Miller… - Reports on Progress in …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Is there a finite complete set of monotones in any quantum resource theory?

C Datta, R Ganardi, TV Kondra, A Streltsov - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Entanglement quantification aims to assess the value of quantum states for quantum

Fundamental limits on correlated catalytic state transformations

R Rubboli, M Tomamichel - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Determining whether a given state can be transformed into a target state using free

thermodynamic restrictions. However, the quest for simpler methods to encompass all these …

Arbitrary amplification of quantum coherence in asymptotic and catalytic transformation

N Shiraishi, R Takagi - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Quantum coherence is one of the fundamental aspects distinguishing classical and quantum
theories. Coherence between different energy eigenstates is particularly important, as it …

Fundamental limits on anomalous energy flows in correlated quantum systems

P Lipka-Bartosik, GF Diotallevi, P Bakhshinezhad - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
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
