Toward physical realizations of thermodynamic resource theories
Nicole Yunger Halpern
Conventional statistical mechanics describes large systems and averages over many particles or over many trials. But work, heat, and entropy impact the small scales that experiment…

Entropic equality for worst-case work at any protocol speed
Oscar Dahlsten, Mahn-Soo Choi, Daniel Braun +3
We derive an equality for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in finite-dimensional quantum systems. The equality concerns the worst-case work output of a time-dependent Hamilton…

Quantum voting and violation of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem
Ning Bao, Nicole Yunger Halpern
We propose a quantum voting system, in the spirit of quantum games such as the quantum Prisoner's Dilemma. Our scheme enables a constitution to violate a quantum analog of Arrow's…
