Fundamental bound on Wigner negativity generation from environmental collisions

Isaac Layton, Takahiro Sagawa, Ken Funo

Beyond quadratic potentials, classical evolution laws are typically thought to arise from quantum theory as an approximate description. Here we show that classical evolution laws c…

Quantum enhancement of information-mediated energy transfer

Shotaro Oki, Yuki Kadono, Kaito Tojo +2

Thermodynamics of information identifies information flow as a thermodynamic resource, but whether quantum coherence and collective coupling can enhance it at low entropy-productio…
