How do closed quantum many-body systems driven out of equilibrium eventually achieve
equilibration? And how do these systems thermalize, given that they comprise so many …

This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

Producing quantum states at random has become increasingly important in modern
quantum science, with applications being both theoretical and practical. In particular …

Landauerʼs principle relates entropy decrease and heat dissipation during logically
irreversible processes. Most theoretical justifications of Landauerʼs principle either use …

Consider a sequential process in which each step outputs a system A i and updates a side
information register E. We prove that if this process satisfies a natural “non-signalling” …

We ask the question whether entropy accumulates, in the sense that the operationally
relevant total uncertainty about an n-partite system A=(A_1, ... A_n) A=(A 1,… A n) …

A unitary t-design is a powerful tool in quantum information science and fundamental
physics. Despite its usefulness, only approximate implementations were known for general t …

Thermodynamics and information have intricate interrelations. Often thermodynamics is
considered to be the logical premise to justify that information is physical-through …

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

Information-theoretic approaches provide a promising avenue for extending the laws of
thermodynamics to the nanoscale. Here, we provide a general fundamental lower limit, valid …
