Non-hermitian physics

Y Ashida, Z Gong, M Ueda - Advances in Physics, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

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 …

Quantum thermodynamics

S Vinjanampathy, J Anders - Contemporary Physics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard
thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below …

A single-atom heat engine

J Roßnagel, ST Dawkins, KN Tolazzi, O Abah, E Lutz… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Heat engines convert thermal energy into mechanical work and generally involve a large
number of particles. We report the experimental realization of a single-atom heat engine. An …

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 …

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 …
