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…
