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 …

Many-body localization in the age of classical computing

P Sierant, M Lewenstein, A Scardicchio… - Reports on Progress …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Statistical mechanics provides a framework for describing the physics of large, complex
many-body systems using only a few macroscopic parameters to determine the state of the …

Distinguishing localization from chaos: Challenges in finite-size systems

DA Abanin, JH Bardarson, G De Tomasi… - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
We re-examine attempts to study the many-body localization transition using measures that
are physically natural on the ergodic/quantum chaotic regime of the phase diagram. Using …

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 …

Quantum coherence and geometric quantum discord

ML Hu, X Hu, J Wang, Y Peng, YR Zhang, H Fan - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
Quantum coherence and quantum correlations are of fundamental and practical significance
for the development of quantum mechanics. They are also cornerstones of quantum …

Extractable work, the role of correlations, and asymptotic freedom in quantum batteries

GM Andolina, M Keck, A Mari, M Campisi… - Physical review …, 2019 - APS
We investigate a quantum battery made of N two-level systems, which is charged by an
optical mode via an energy-conserving interaction. We quantify the fraction of energy stored …

Diffusive and subdiffusive spin transport in the ergodic phase of a many-body localizable system

M Žnidarič, A Scardicchio, VK Varma - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
We study high temperature spin transport in a disordered Heisenberg chain in the ergodic
regime. By employing a density matrix renormalization group technique for the study of the …

Local integrals of motion in many‐body localized systems

JZ Imbrie, V Ros, A Scardicchio - Annalen der Physik, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
We review the current (as of Fall 2016) status of the studies on the emergent integrability in
many‐body localized models. We start by explaining how the phenomenology of fully many …

Criterion for many-body localization-delocalization phase transition

M Serbyn, Z Papić, DA Abanin - Physical Review X, 2015 - APS
We propose a new approach to probing ergodicity and its breakdown in one-dimensional
quantum many-body systems based on their response to a local perturbation. We study the …

Many-body localization dynamics from gauge invariance

M Brenes, M Dalmonte, M Heyl, A Scardicchio - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We show how lattice gauge theories can display many-body localization dynamics in the
absence of disorder. Our starting point is the observation that, for some generic …
