• Abstract summary: We study the problem of state transformations in the framework of Gaussian thermal resource theory in the presence of catalysts. We show that strong catalysts are useless for the single mode case, in that they do not expand the set of states reachable from a given initial state. We derive necessary conditions for transformations holding for any number of modes, for strong catalysts and approximate transformations, and for weak catalysts with and without a thermal bath.

• Abstract: We examine the problem of state transformations in the framework of Gaussian thermal resource theory in the presence of catalysts. To this end, we introduce an expedient parametrisation of covariance matrices in terms of principal mode temperatures and asymmetries, and consider both weak and strong catalytic scenarios. We show that strong catalysts (where final correlations with the system are forbidden) are useless for the single mode case, in that they do not expand the set of states reachable from a given initial state through Gaussian thermal operations. We then go on to prove that weak catalysts (where final correlations with the system are allowed) are instead capable of reaching more final system states, and determine exact conditions for state transformations of a single-mode in their presence. Next, we derive necessary conditions for Gaussian thermal state transformations holding for any number of modes, for strong catalysts and approximate transformations, and for weak catalysts with and without the addition of a thermal bath. We discuss the implications of these results for devices operating with Gaussian elements.

  This work focuses on transformations between energy-incoherent states under the most general energy-conserving interactions among the system, the catalyst, and a thermal environment. The sole constraint is that the catalyst must return unperturbed and uncorrelated with the other subsystems.

  Many-copy entanglement manipulation procedures allow for highly entangled pure states from noisy states. We show that using an entangled catalyst cannot enhance the singlet distillation rate of a distillable quantum state. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled states.

  We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of the phase diagram at half- and incommensurate fillings, in the mean-field approximation. We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

• Pulsed multireservoir engineering for a trapped ion with applications to state synthesis and quantum Otto cycles [68.8204255655161]
  Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments. We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion. Having multiple internal levels, we show that multiple reservoirs can be engineered, allowing for more efficient synthesis of well-known non-classical states of motion.

• 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.

• Catalytic transformations with finite-size environments: applications to cooling and thermometry [0.0]
  We study catalytic transformations that cannot be achieved when a system exclusively interacts with a finite environment. We show that catalytic cooling is always possible if the dimension of the catalyst is sufficiently large. In a multiqubit setup catalytic cooling outperforms standard (non-catalytic) cooling using higher order interactions.

• Probing eigenstate thermalization in quantum simulators via fluctuation-dissipation relations [77.34726150561087]
  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
