Quantum Thermodynamics of Correlated-Catalytic State Conversion at Small Scale
Quantum Thermodynamics of Correlated-Catalytic State Conversion at Small Scale
The class of possible thermodynamic conversions can be extended by introducing an auxiliary system called catalyst, which assists in state conversion while its own state remains unchanged. We reveal a complete characterization of catalytic state conversion in quantum and single-shot thermodynamics by allowing an infinitesimal correlation between the system and …
