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 …

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 …

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 …

Quantum teleportation is the process of transferring quantum information using classical
communication and pre-shared entanglement. This process can benefit from the use of …

Catalysts are quantum systems that open up dynamical pathways between quantum states
which are otherwise inaccessible under a given set of operational restrictions while, at the …

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 …

It is known that mixed quantum states are highly entropic states of imperfect knowledge (ie,
incomplete information) about a quantum system, while pure quantum states are states of …

Quantum thermodynamics aims to extend standard thermodynamics and non-equilibrium
statistical physics to systems with sizes well below the thermodynamic limit. It is a rapidly …

Communication is essential for advancing science and technology. Quantum
communication, in particular, benefits from the use of catalysts. During the communication …

Using local operations and classical communication (LOCC), entanglement can be
manipulated but not created. However, entanglement can be $ embezzled $. In this work, we …
