Thermal operations from informational equilibrium
Seok Hyung Lie, Jeongrak Son, Paul Boes +2
Thermal operations are quantum channels that have taken a prominent role in deriving fundamental thermodynamic limitations in quantum systems. We show that these channels are uniqu…
Transparent reporting of research-related greenhouse gas emissions through the scientific COnduct initiative
Ryan Sweke, Paul Boes, Nelly H. Y. Ng +3
Estimating the greenhouse gas emissions of research-related activities is a critical first step towards the design of mitigation policies and actions. Here we propose and motivate…
The variance of relative surprisal as single-shot quantifier
Paul Boes, Nelly H. Y. Ng, Henrik Wilming
The variance of (relative) surprisal, also known as varentropy, so far mostly plays a role in information theory as quantifying the leading order corrections to asymptotic i.i.d.~l…
Bounding the resources for thermalizing many-body localized systems
Carlo Sparaciari, Marcel Goihl, Paul Boes +2
Understanding under which conditions physical systems thermalize is a long-standing question in many-body physics. While generic quantum systems thermalize, there are known instanc…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Structure of the resource theory of quantum coherence
Alexander Streltsov, Swapan Rana, Paul Boes +1
Quantum coherence is an essential feature of quantum mechanics which is responsible for the departure between classical and quantum world. The recently established resource theory…
Composing decoherence functionals
Paul Boes, Miguel Navascues
Quantum Measure Theory (QMT) is a generalization of quantum theory where physical predictions are computed from a matrix known as \emph{decoherence functional} (DF). Previous works…
