Minimally invasive measurement of work in coherent quantum systems
Cyril Elouard, Karen Hovhannisyan, Giulia Rubino
A central challenge in quantum thermodynamics is to access work fluctuations in coherent processes without distorting the energetics of the unmeasured evolution. In standard two-po…
Interpretable rule-based learning in an autonomous thermodynamic network
Sparrow Suderman, Giulia Rubino
Machine learning is typically described in terms of deterministic logical operations, whereas physical systems generally operate in the presence of noise, dissipation and irreversi…
Indefinite Quantum Causality
Fabio Costa, Giulia Rubino, Cyril Branciard +2
In recent years, operational approaches to quantum foundations have been developed as a means of understanding the core principles and distinctive features of quantum theory. Such…
Coarse-grained quantum thermodynamics: Observation-dependent quantities, observation-independent laws
Giulia Rubino, Äaslav Brukner, Gonzalo Manzano
In both classical and quantum thermodynamics, physical quantities are typically assigned objective values defined independently of our observations. We then refer to the 'work perf…
Surpassing the loss-noise robustness trade-off in quantum key distribution
Hannah Seabrook, Emilien Lavie, Teodor Strömberg +2
Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers a theoretically secure method to share secret keys, yet practical implementations face challenges due to noise and loss over long-distance cha…
Revising the quantum work fluctuation framework to encompass energy conservation
Giulia Rubino, Karen V. Hovhannisyan, Paul Skrzypczyk
Work is a process-based quantity, and its measurement typically requires interaction with a measuring device multiple times. While classical systems allow for non-invasive and accu…
