Revivals imply quantum many-body scars
Álvaro M. Alhambra, Anurag Anshu, Henrik Wilming
We derive general results relating revivals in the dynamics of quantum many-body systems to the entanglement properties of energy eigenstates. For a D-dimensional lattice system of…
By-passing fluctuation theorems
Paul Boes, Rodrigo Gallego, Nelly H. Y. Ng +2
Fluctuation theorems impose constraints on possible work extraction probabilities in thermodynamical processes. These constraints are stronger than the usual second law, which is c…
Single-shot holographic compression from the area law
Henrik Wilming, Jens Eisert
The area law conjecture states that the entanglement entropy of a region of space in the ground state of a gapped, local Hamiltonian only grows like the surface area of the region.…
Von Neumann entropy from unitarity
P. Boes, J. Eisert, R. Gallego +2
The von Neumann entropy is a key quantity in quantum information theory and, roughly speaking, quantifies the amount of quantum information contained in a state when many identical…
Equilibration times in closed quantum many-body systems
H. Wilming, T. R. de Oliveira, A. J. Short +1
For a quantum system to be captured by a stationary statistical ensemble, as is common in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, it is necessary that it reaches some apparently…
Catalytic quantum randomness
P. Boes, H. Wilming, R. Gallego +1
Randomness is a defining element of mixing processes in nature and an essential ingredient to many protocols in quantum information. In this work, we investigate how much randomnes…
Entanglement-ergodic quantum systems equilibrate exponentially well
Henrik Wilming, Marcel Goihl, Ingo Roth +1
One of the outstanding problems in non-equilibrium physics is to precisely understand when and how physically relevant observables in many-body systems equilibrate under unitary ti…
Statistical ensembles without typicality
Paul Boes, Henrik Wilming, Jens Eisert +1
Maximum-entropy ensembles are key primitives in statistical mechanics from which thermodynamic properties can be derived. Over the decades, several approaches have been put forward…
Strong coupling corrections in quantum thermodynamics
M. Perarnau-Llobet, H. Wilming, A. Riera +2
Quantum systems strongly coupled to many-body systems equilibrate to the reduced state of a global thermal state, deviating from the local thermal state of the system as it occurs…
Axiomatic characterization of the quantum relative entropy and free energy
Henrik Wilming, Rodrigo Gallego, Jens Eisert
Building upon work by Matsumoto, we show that the quantum relative entropy with full-rank second argument is determined by four simple axioms: i) Continuity in the first argument,…
Third Law of Thermodynamics as a Single Inequality
Henrik Wilming, Rodrigo Gallego
The third law of thermodynamics in the form of the unattainability principle states that exact ground-state cooling requires infinite resources. Here we investigate the amount of n…
Towards holography via quantum source-channel codes
Fernando Pastawski, Jens Eisert, Henrik Wilming
While originally motivated by quantum computation, quantum error correction (QEC) is currently providing valuable insights into many-body quantum physics such as topological phases…
Emergence of spontaneous symmetry breaking in dissipative lattice systems
H. Wilming, M. J. Kastoryano, A. H. Werner +1
A cornerstone of the theory of phase transitions is the observation that many-body systems exhibiting a spontaneous symmetry breaking in the thermodynamic limit generally show exte…
Thermodynamic work from operational principles
R. Gallego, J. Eisert, H. Wilming
In recent years we have witnessed a concentrated effort to make sense of thermodynamics for small-scale systems. One of the main difficulties is to capture a suitable notion of wor…
Second laws under control restrictions
H. Wilming, R. Gallego, J. Eisert
The second law of thermodynamics, formulated as an ultimate bound on the maximum extractable work, has been rigorously derived in multiple scenarios. However, the unavoidable limit…
