论文摘要
我们发现必要和足够的条件，以确定时间翻译协变量进化下量子系统的转换性，并使用它来解决单次和渐近状态的量子热力学问题。 It is well known that the resource theory of quantum athermality is not reversible, but in PRL 111, 250404 (2013) it was claimed that the theory becomes reversible ``provided a sublinear amount of coherent superposition over energy levels is available". Here we show that if a sublinear amount of coherence among energy levels were considered free, then the resource theory of athermality would become trivial. Instead, we show that by considering a对于纯国案，雅致的理论是可逆的。
We find necessary and sufficient conditions to determine the inter-convertibility of quantum systems under time-translation covariant evolution, and use it to solve several problems in quantum thermodynamics both in the single-shot and asymptotic regimes. It is well known that the resource theory of quantum athermality is not reversible, but in PRL 111, 250404 (2013) it was claimed that the theory becomes reversible ``provided a sublinear amount of coherent superposition over energy levels is available". Here we show that if a sublinear amount of coherence among energy levels were considered free, then the resource theory of athermality would become trivial. Instead, we show that by considering a sublinear amount of energy to be free, the theory of athermality becomes reversible for the pure-state case. A proof of the same claim for the mixed-state case is still lacking.
