Thermal operations (TO) are a generic description for allowed state transitions under
thermodynamic restrictions. However, the quest for simpler methods to encompass all these …

In classical thermodynamics energy always flows from the hotter system to the colder one.
However, if these systems are initially correlated, the energy flow can reverse, making the …

We demonstrate how to incorporate a catalyst to enhance the performance of a heat engine.
Specifically, we analyze efficiency in one of the simplest engine models, which operates in …

We investigate the thermodynamic constraints on the pivotal task of entanglement
generation using out-of-equilibrium states through a model-independent framework with …

From both intuitive and physical perspectives, it is generally recognized that within a
resource theory framework, free operations cannot broadcast a resource state due to their …

In the classical regime, thermodynamic state transformations are governed by the free
energy. This is also called as the second law of thermodynamics. Previous works showed …

What are the fundamental limits and advantages of using a catalyst to aid thermodynamic
transformations between quantum systems? In this paper, we answer this question by …

Recently, the resource theory of imaginarity was proposed, viewing the imaginary part of a
quantum state as a basic resource leading to quantum advantages. As with other quantum …

Quantum teleportation is the process of transferring quantum information using classical
communication and pre-shared entanglement. This process can benefit from the use of …

We investigate catalysis in the framework of elementary thermal operations, leveraging the
distinct features of such operations to illuminate catalytic dynamics. As groundwork, we …
