Entanglement is necessary for emergent classicality in all physical theories
Jonathan G. Richens, John H. Selby, Sabri W. Al-Safi
One of the most striking features of quantum theory is the existence of entangled states, responsible for Einstein's so called "spooky action at a distance". These states emerge fr…
Finite-bath corrections to the second law of thermodynamics
Jonathan G. Richens, Álvaro M. Alhambra, Lluis Masanes
The second law of thermodynamics states that a system in contact with a heat bath can undergo a transformation if and only if its free energy decreases. However, the "if" part of t…
Entanglement is an inevitable feature of any non-classical theory
Jonathan G. Richens, John H. Selby, Sabri W. Al-Safi
One of the most striking features of quantum theory is the existence of entangled states, responsible for Einstein's so called "spooky action at a distance". These states emerge fr…
From single-shot to general work extraction with bounded fluctuations in work
Jonathan G. Richens, Lluis Masanes
In the standard framework of thermodynamics the work produced or consumed in a process is a random variable whose average value is bounded by the change in the free energy of the s…
Reversibility and the structure of the local state space
Sabri W. Al-Safi, Jonathan Richens
The richness of quantum theory's reversible dynamics is one of its unique operational characteristics, with recent results suggesting deep links between the theory's reversible dyn…
Criticality, factorization and long-range correlations in the anisotropic XY-model
Steve Campbell, Jonathan Richens, Nicola Lo Gullo +1
We study the long-range quantum correlations in the anisotropic XY-model. By first examining the thermodynamic limit we show that employing the quantum discord as a figure of merit…
