Work extraction using Gaussian operations in non-interacting fermionic systems
arXiv:1805.11075 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.98.042121
Abstract
We investigate work extraction from non-interacting fermions under arbitrary unitary operations and the more restricted class of Gaussian unitary operations that can be feasibly implemented. We characterize general quantum states in fermionic systems according to their ability to yield work (or not) under such transformations and study the limit for which multiple copies of passive states in fermionic systems can be activated for work extraction. We find that a sufficient number of copies of non-thermal passive states can achieve this, yielding an upper bound on the number of copies needed.
