Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum

GT Landi, M Paternostro - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

Colloquium: Quantum coherence as a resource

A Streltsov, G Adesso, MB Plenio - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables,
represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum …

Catalysis in quantum information theory

P Lipka-Bartosik, H Wilming, NHY Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

The role of quantum information in thermodynamics—a topical review

J Goold, M Huber, A Riera, L Del Rio… - Journal of Physics A …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

Operational resource theory of coherence

A Winter, D Yang - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We establish an operational theory of coherence (or of superposition) in quantum systems,
by focusing on the optimal rate of performance of certain tasks. Namely, we introduce the …

Quantifying coherence

T Baumgratz, M Cramer, MB Plenio - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We introduce a rigorous framework for the quantification of coherence and identify intuitive
and easily computable measures of coherence. We achieve this by adopting the viewpoint …

Robustness of coherence: an operational and observable measure of quantum coherence

C Napoli, TR Bromley, M Cianciaruso, M Piani… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
Quantifying coherence is an essential endeavor for both quantum foundations and quantum
technologies. Here, the robustness of coherence is defined and proven to be a full …

Quantum non-Markovianity: characterization, quantification and detection

Á Rivas, SF Huelga, MB Plenio - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the concept of quantum non-
Markovianity, a central theme in the theory of open quantum systems. We introduce the …

Description of quantum coherence in thermodynamic processes requires constraints beyond free energy

M Lostaglio, D Jennings, T Rudolph - Nature communications, 2015 - nature.com
Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

Converting coherence to quantum correlations

J Ma, B Yadin, D Girolami, V Vedral, M Gu - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Recent results in quantum information theory characterize quantum coherence in the context
of resource theories. Here, we study the relation between quantum coherence and quantum …
