Concentration of quantum equilibration and an estimate of the recurrence time

Jonathon Riddell, Nathan Pagliaroli, Álvaro M. Alhambra

We show that the dynamics of generic quantum systems concentrate around their equilibrium value when measuring at arbitrary times. This means that the probability of finding them a…

Entanglement fluctuation theorems

Álvaro M. Alhambra, Lluis Masanes, Jonathan Oppenheim +1

Pure state entanglement transformations have been thought of as irreversible, with reversible transformations generally only possible in the limit of many copies. Here, we show tha…

The second law of quantum thermodynamics as an equality

Álvaro M. Alhambra, Lluis Masanes, Jonathan Oppenheim +1

We investigate the connection between recent results in quantum thermodynamics and fluctuation relations by adopting a fully quantum mechanical description of thermodynamics. By in…

Work and reversibility in quantum thermodynamics

Álvaro M. Alhambra, Stephanie Wehner, Mark M. Wilde +1

It is a central question in quantum thermodynamics to determine how irreversible is a process that transforms an initial state to a final state , and whether such irreversib…

What is the probability of a thermodynamical transition?

Álvaro M. Alhambra, Jonathan Oppenheim, Christopher Perry

If the second law of thermodynamics forbids a transition from one state to another, then it is still possible to make the transition happen by using a sufficient amount of work. Bu…
