• Abstract: We study a generalization of relative submajorization that compares pairs of positive operators on representation spaces of some fixed group. A pair equivariantly relatively submajorizes another if there is an equivariant subnormalized channel that takes the components of the first pair to a pair satisfying similar positivity constraints as in the definition of relative submajorization. In the context of the resource theory approach to thermodynamics, this generalization allows one to study transformations by Gibbs-preserving maps that are in addition time-translation symmetric. We find a sufficient condition for the existence of catalytic transformations and a characterization of an asymptotic relaxation of the relation. For classical and certain quantum pairs the characterization is in terms of explicit monotone quantities related to the sandwiched quantum R\'enyi divergences. In the general quantum case the relevant quantities are given only implicitly. Nevertheless, we find a large collection of monotones that provide necessary conditions for asymptotic or catalytic transformations. When applied to time-translation symmetric maps, these give rise to second laws that constrain state transformations allowed by thermal operations even in the presence of catalysts.

• Quantum geometric tensor determines the i.i.d. conversion rate in the resource theory of asymmetry for any compact Lie group [0.0]
  The resource theory of asymmetry (RTA) is a resource-theoretic framework for investigating asymmetry as a resource to break constraints imposed by symmetries. We show that the quantum geometric tensor is an asymmetry monotone for pure states that determines the optimal approximate conversion rate. We also affirmatively prove the Marvian-Spekkens conjecture on reversible convertibility in RTA, which has remained unproven for a decade.

  We work out an alternative basis consisting of monomials on the basic observables, with the crucial property of behaving well under symplectic transformations. Given the density matrix of a state, the expansion coefficients in that basis constitute the multipoles, which describe the state in a canonically covariant form that is both concise and explicit.

  We introduce quantum algorithms that can efficiently simulate certain classes of interactions consisting of correlated changes in multiple quantum numbers. The lattice gauge theory studied is the SU(2) gauge theory in 1+1 dimensions coupled to one flavor of staggered fermions. The algorithms are shown to be applicable to higher-dimensional theories as well as to other Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

• Catalytic Transformations of Pure Entangled States [62.997667081978825]
  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.

We find that an variant of relative submajorization, defined on unnormalized dichotomies, is characterized by real-valued monotones that are multiplicative under the tensor product and additive under the direct sum.
