The asymptotic emergence of the Second Law for a repeated charging process
Marcin Łobejko, Paweł Mazurek, Michał Horodecki
In one of its versions, the Second Law states: "It is impossible to construct an engine which will work in a complete cycle, and produces no effect except the raising of a weight a…
Thermodynamics of Minimal Coupling Quantum Heat Engines
Marcin Łobejko, Paweł Mazurek, Michał Horodecki
The minimal-coupling quantum heat engine is a thermal machine consisting of an explicit energy storage system, heat baths, and a working body, which alternatively couples to subsys…
Quantum error correction codes and absolutely maximally entangled states
Paweł Mazurek, Máté Farkas, Andrzej Grudka +2
For every stabiliser -qudit absolutely maximally entangled state, we present a method for determining the stabiliser generators and logical operators of a corresponding quantum…
Second law of thermodynamics for batteries with vacuum state
Patryk Lipka-Bartosik, Paweł Mazurek, Michał Horodecki
In stochastic thermodynamics work is a random variable whose average is bounded by the change in the free energy of the system. In most treatments, however, the work reservoir that…
Generalized XOR non-locality games with graph description on a square lattice
Monika Rosicka, Paweł Mazurek, Andrzej Grudka +1
We propose a family of non-locality unique games for 2 parties based on a square lattice on an arbitrary surface. We show that, due to structural similarities with error correction…
Thermal Processes and State Achievability
Paweł Mazurek
A complete characterization of the set of states that can be achieved through Thermal Processes (TP) is given by describing all vertices, edges and facets of the allowed set of sta…
