Ergotropic and passive contributions on the phase-space information geometry of Gaussian states

Ivan Medina, Camila Raupp, Pedro B. Melo +1

We establish a direct connection between quantum thermodynamics and information geometry by introducing an ergotropic decomposition of the Wigner-Fisher information for Gaussian qu…

Thermodynamics of the optical pumping process in Nitrogen-Vacancy centers

Ivan Medina, Sérgio R. Muniz, Elisa I. Goettems +1

The optical pumping process is a fundamental tool for quantum protocols using the electronic and nuclear spins in the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers platform. In this work, we explo…

Anomalous discharging of quantum batteries: the ergotropic Mpemba effect

Ivan Medina, Oisín Culhane, Felix C. Binder +2

Anomalous thermal relaxation is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. An emblematic example of this is the Mpemba effect, where an initially ``hot'' system cools fast…

Transmission losses in optical qubits for controlled teleportation

I. Medina, F. L. Semião

In this work, we investigate the controlled teleportation protocol using optical qubits within the single-rail logic. The protocol makes use of an entangled tripartite state shared…
