Mixing indistinguishable systems leads to a quantum Gibbs paradox
Benjamin Yadin, Benjamin Morris, Gerardo Adesso
The classical Gibbs paradox concerns the entropy change upon mixing two gases. Whether an observer assigns an entropy increase to the process depends on their ability to distinguis…
Entanglement between identical particles is a useful and consistent resource
Benjamin Morris, Benjamin Yadin, Matteo Fadel +3
The existence of fundamentally identical particles represents a foundational distinction between classical and quantum mechanics. Due to their exchange symmetry, identical particle…
Pushing the limits of the reaction-coordinate mapping
Luis A. Correa, Buqing Xu, Benjamin Morris +1
The reaction-coordinate mapping is a useful technique to study complex quantum dissipative dynamics into structured environments. In essence, it aims to mimic the original problem…
A resource theory of Maxwell's demons
Gabriel T. Landi, Giacomo Guarnieri, Benjamin Morris +2
Motivated by recent progress on the motive power of information in quantum thermodynamics, we put forth an operational resource theory of Maxwell's demons. We show that the resourc…
Assisted work distillation
Benjamin Morris, Ludovico Lami, Gerardo Adesso
We study the process of assisted work distillation. This scenario arises when two parties share a bipartite quantum state and their task is to locally distil the optimal a…
Quantum coherence fluctuation relations
Benjamin Morris, Gerardo Adesso
We investigate manipulations of pure quantum states under incoherent or strictly incoherent operations assisted by a coherence battery, that is, a storage device whose degree of co…
