Quantifying the difference between many-body quantum states
Davide Girolami, Fabio Anzà
The quantum state overlap is the textbook measure of the difference between two quantum states. Yet, it is inadequate to compare the complex configurations of many-body systems. Th…
Szilard Engines as Quantum Thermodynamical Systems
Maryam Ashrafi, Kyle J. Ray, Fabio Anza +1
We analyze an engine whose working fluid consists of a single quantum particle, paralleling Szilard's construction of a classical single-particle engine. Following his resolution o…
Beyond Density Matrices: Geometric Quantum States
Fabio Anza, James P. Crutchfield
A quantum system's state is identified with a density matrix. Though their probabilistic interpretation is rooted in ensemble theory, density matrices embody a known shortcoming. T…
Geometric Quantum Thermodynamics
Fabio Anza, James P. Crutchfield
Building on parallels between geometric quantum mechanics and classical mechanics, we explore an alternative basis for quantum thermodynamics that exploits the differential geometr…
Maximum Geometric Quantum Entropy
Fabio Anza, James P. Crutchfield
Any given density matrix can be represented as an infinite number of ensembles of pure states. This leads to the natural question of how to uniquely select one out of the many, app…
