When Symmetry Suppresses Magic

A. de Oliveira Junior, Jake Xuereb, Rafael A. Macêdo +2

Nonstabilizerness is a critical resource for quantum advantage, but evaluating it, especially for mixed states, requires superexponentially many samples in system size, making the…

Anomalous Local Heat Capacity and Bipartite Entanglement

Jake Xuereb, A. de Oliveira Junior

The heat capacity of a system quantifies how it energetically responds to changes in temperature at equilibrium. Whilst this quantity is positive and even additive for non-interact…

Quantum vs Classical Erasure: Equal Bounds but Unequal Costs

Jan Neuser, Jake Xuereb, Pharnam Bakhshinezhad +1

Irreversibility has a fundamental thermodynamic cost, erasing information inevitably generates heat. This connection is quantified by the Landauer bound, which gives the minimum di…

Cooling a Qubit using n Others

Jake Xuereb, Benjamin Stratton, Alberto Rolandi +3

In the task of unitarily cooling a quantum system with access to a larger quantum system, known as the machine or reservoir, how does the structure of the machine impact an agent's…

A Temperature Change can Solve the Deutsch-Jozsa Problem : An Exploration of Thermodynamic Query Complexity

Jake Xuereb

We demonstrate how a single heat exchange between a probe thermal qubit and multi-qubit thermal machine encoding a Boolean function, can determine whether the function is balanced…

Reconstructing thermal states using dimensionally limited probes : A Model for Limited Control & Memory in Quantum Thermodynamics

Jake Xuereb, A. de Oliveira Junior, Fabien Clivaz +2

Whilst the complexity of acquiring knowledge of a quantum state has been extensively studied in the fields of quantum tomography and quantum learning, a physical understanding of i…

Emergence of a second law of thermodynamics in isolated quantum systems

Florian Meier, Tom Rivlin, Tiago Debarba +3

The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system can only increase over time. This appears to conflict with the reversible evolution of isolated quant…

Autonomous Quantum Processing Unit: An Autonomous Thermal Computing Machine & its Physical Limitations

Florian Meier, Marcus Huber, Paul Erker +1

Computation is an input-output process, where a program encoding a problem to be solved is inserted into a machine that outputs a solution. Quantum computation conventionally relie…

Quantum Coding with Finite Thermodynamic Resources

Jake Xuereb, Tiago Debarba, Marcus Huber +1

Quantum direct coding or Schumacher compression generalised the ideas of Shannon theory, gave an operational meaning to the von Neumann entropy and established the term qubit. But…

The Impact of Imperfect Timekeeping on Quantum Control

Jake Xuereb, Florian Meier, Paul Erker +2

In order to unitarily evolve a quantum system, an agent requires knowledge of time, a parameter which no physical clock can ever perfectly characterise. In this letter, we study ho…

DQC1 as an Open Quantum System

Jake Xuereb, Steve Campbell, John Goold +1

The DQC1 complexity class, or power of one qubit model, is examined as an open quantum system. We study the dynamics of a register of qubits carrying out a DQC1 algorithm and show…
