• Title: Optimal local work extraction from bipartite quantum systems in the presence of Hamiltonian couplings
• Authors: Raffaele Salvia, Giacomo De Palma, and Vittorio Giovannetti
• Abstract summary: We find the maximum work that can be extracted from a system if we can only apply local unitary transformation acting on a subsystem. As non-trivial examples, we compute the local ergotropy for a atom in an electromagnetic cavity with Jaynes-Cummings coupling, and the local ergotropy for a spin site in an XXZ Heisenberg chain.

• Abstract: We investigate the problem of finding the local analogue of the ergotropy, that is the maximum work that can be extracted from a system if we can only apply local unitary transformation acting on a given subsystem. In particular, we provide a closed formula for the local ergotropy in the special case in which the local system has only two levels, and give analytic lower bounds and semidefinite programming upper bounds for the general case. As non-trivial examples of application, we compute the local ergotropy for a atom in an electromagnetic cavity with Jaynes-Cummings coupling, and the local ergotropy for a spin site in an XXZ Heisenberg chain, showing that the amount of work that can be extracted with an unitary operation on the coupled system can be greater than the work obtainable by quenching off the coupling with the environment before the unitary transformation.

  We consider the standard quantum information decoupling, in which Alice aims to decouple her system from the environment by local operations and discarding some of her systems. We find an achievability bound in entanglement distillation protocol, where the objective is for Alice and Bob to transform their quantum state to maximally entangled state with largest possible dimension.

  We introduce the concept of extended local ergotropy by exploiting the free evolution of the system-environment compound. At variance with the local ergotropy, the extended local ergotropy is greater, is non-increasing in time, and activates the potential of work extraction.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of periodicity. For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

• Extracting work from correlated many-body quantum systems [2.0305676256390934]
  The presence of correlations in the input state of a non-interacting many-body quantum system can lead to an increase in the amount of work we can extract from it under global unitary processes. We observe that in the thermodynamic limit of large number of sites, complete work extraction can be attained for relatively small correlation strength.

  We exploit insights into the geometry of bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states to develop an efficient local optimization algorithm. The method is based on notions of descent gradient attuned to the local geometry. We use the presented methods to collect numerical and analytical evidence for the conjecture that Gaussian purifications are sufficient to compute the entanglement of purification of arbitrary mixed Gaussian states.
