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…
Thermodynamic resources in continuous-variable quantum systems
Varun Narasimhachar, Syed Assad, Felix C. Binder +3
Thermodynamic resources, beyond their well-known usefulness in work extraction and other thermodynamic tasks, are often important also in tasks that are not evidently thermodynamic…
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…
Resource theories of multi-time processes: A window into quantum non-Markovianity
Graeme D. Berk, Andrew J. P. Garner, Benjamin Yadin +2
We investigate the conditions under which an uncontrollable background processes may be harnessed by an agent to perform a task that would otherwise be impossible within their oper…
Quantum correlations for anonymous metrology
A. J. Paige, Benjamin Yadin, M. S. Kim
We introduce the task of anonymous metrology, in which a physical parameter of an object may be determined without revealing the object's location. Alice and Bob share a correlated…
Coherence and quantum correlations measure sensitivity to dephasing channels
Benjamin Yadin, Pieter Bogaert, Cristian E. Susa +1
We introduce measures of quantum coherence as the speed of evolution of a system under decoherence. That is, coherence is the ability to estimate a dephasing channel, quantified by…
