- Abstract summary: We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems.
This "quantum correlation entropy" $Srm QC$ is additive over independent systems, measures total nonclassical correlations, and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states.

- Abstract: We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in
entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization
of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum
correlation entropy" $S^{\rm QC}$ is additive over independent systems, is
invariant under local unitary operations, measures total nonclassical
correlations (vanishing on states with strictly classical correlation), and
reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states. It quantifies
how well a quantum system can be understood via local measurements, and ties
directly to non-equilibrium thermodynamics, including representing a lower
bound on the quantum part of thermodynamic entropy production. We discuss two
other measures of nonclassical correlation to which this entropy is equivalent,
and argue that together they provide a unique thermodynamically distinguished
measure.

In quantum thermodynamics, entropy production is usually defined in terms of the quantum relative entropy between two states.
In the absence of coherence between the states, our result reproduces classic TURs in thermodynamics.

For classic systems, the fluctuations of a current have a lower bound in terms of the entropy production.
We generalize this idea for quantum systems, where we find a lower bound for the uncertainty of quantum observables given in terms of the quantum relative entropy.
We apply the result to obtain a quantum thermodynamic uncertainty relation in terms of the quantum entropy production, valid for arbitrary dynamics and non-thermal environments.

We consider adiabatic quantum pumping through a resonant level model, a single-level quantum dot connected to two fermionic leads.
We develop a consistent thermodynamic description of this model accounting for the variation of the energy level of the dot and the tunnelling rates with the thermal baths.

In particular we describe how the probability distribution of the former shows different behaviour in the area-law and volume-law regimes.

We show that, when considering entropy production generated in a process taking a finite-size bipartite quantum system out of equilibrium through local non-unitary channels, no general monotonicity relationship exists between the entropy production and degree of quantum coherence in the state of the system.
Our results call for a systematic study of the role of genuine quantum features in the non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum processes.

production [0.0]
entropy produced when a quantum system is driven away from equilibrium can be decomposed in two parts, one related with populations and the other with quantum coherences.
We argue that, despite satisfying fluctuation theorems and having a clear resource-theoretic interpretation, this splitting has shortcomings.
Motivated by this, we provide here a complementary approach, where the entropy production is split in a way such that the contributions from populations and coherences are written in terms of a thermal state of a specially dephased Hamiltonian.

Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states.
The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open.
Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.

This temperature coincides with the environment temperature if the system reaches thermal equilibrium with a heat reservoir.
We show that within this theoretical framework the total entropy production can be partitioned into two contributions.
