For non-equilibrium physics, it relates the coherence cost and the entropy production in arbitrary quantum processes. It predicts how many bits of classical information thrown into a black hole become unreadable under energy conservation.

• Abstract: Symmetry, irreversibility, and quantum coherence are foundational concepts in physics. Here, we present a universal tradeoff relation between these three concepts. This particularly reveals that (1) under a global symmetry, any attempt to change the local conserved charge causes inevitable irreversibility, and (2) such irreversibility can be mitigated by quantum coherence. Our tradeoff relation follows solely from the unitarity and global symmetry of the total dynamics, allowing for general applicability. For non-equilibrium physics, it relates the coherence cost and the entropy production -- representing thermodynamic irreversibility -- in arbitrary quantum processes. It also provides fundamental limitations on the capability of a number of quantum information processing tasks -- such as gate and measurement implementation and error correction -- that involve symmetry restrictions. Furthermore, it predicts how many bits of classical information thrown into a black hole become unreadable under energy conservation. Our tradeoff relation is based on quantum uncertainty relation, showcasing intimate connections between fundamental physical principles and ultimate operational capability of quantum processes.

• Generalized Quantum Stein's Lemma and Second Law of Quantum Resource Theories [47.02222405817297]
  A fundamental question in quantum information theory is whether an analogous second law can be formulated to characterize the convertibility of resources for quantum information processing by a single function. In 2008, a promising formulation was proposed, linking resource convertibility to the optimal performance of a variant of the quantum version of hypothesis testing. In 2023, a logical gap was found in the original proof of this lemma, casting doubt on the possibility of such a formulation of the second law.

  A central question since the beginning of quantum information science is how two distant parties can convert one entangled state into another. It has been conjectured that entangled state transformations could be executed reversibly in an regime, mirroring the nature of Carnot cycles in classical thermodynamics. We investigate the concept of an entanglement battery, an auxiliary quantum system that facilitates quantum state transformations without a net loss of entanglement.

  The purpose of this thesis is to investigate fundamental aspects of uncertainty. We first try to reveal why in quantum theory similar bounds are often obtained for two types of uncertainty relations. Then we consider a broader expression of uncertainty in quantum theory called quantum incompatibility.

• 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.

  We put forth a new theoretical framework for merging quantum information science and causal inference by exploiting entropic principles.
