Role of quantum correlations in daemonic expected utility
arXiv:2402.15912 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.109.052221
Abstract
Fluctuations can challenge the possibility of improving work extraction from quantum correlations. This uncertainty in the work extraction process can be addressed resorting to the expected utility hypothesis which can provide an optimal method for work extraction. We study a bipartite quantum system and examine the role of quantum correlations in a daemonic work extraction performed by certain local operations and classical communication. Specifically, we demonstrate and explain how, depending on the so-called absolute risk aversion, a non-neutral risk agent, influenced by fluctuations, views quantum correlations differently from a neutral risk agent who is affected solely by the average work.
