Abstract: Entanglement entropy is one of the most prominent measures in quantum physics. We show that it has an interesting ergotropic interpretation in terms of unitarily extracted work. It determines how much energy one can extract from a source of pure unknown states by applying unitary operations when only local measurements can be performed to characterize this source. Additionally, entanglement entropy sets a limit on the minimal temperature to which these partially characterized states can be cooled down, by using only unitary operations.

Universal Upper Bound on Ergotropy and No-Go Theorem by the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis [9.361474110798143]
We show that the maximum extractable work (ergotropy) from a quantum many-body system is constrained by local athermality of an initial state and local entropy decrease brought about by quantum operations. Our result bridges two independently studied concepts of quantum thermodynamics, the second law and thermalization, via intrasystem correlations in many-body systems as a resource for work extraction.

Growth of entanglement entropy under local projective measurements [0.0]
We show that local projective measurements induce a qualitative modification of the time-growth of the entanglement entropy. In the stationary regime, the logarithmic behavior of the entanglement entropy do not survive in the thermodynamic limit. We numerically show the existence of a single area-law phase for the entanglement entropy.

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.

Lower Bound on Irreversibility in Thermal Relaxation of Open Quantum Systems [4.111899441919164]
Quantifying the degree of irreversibility by entropy production, we prove that the irreversibility of the thermal relaxation is lower-bounded by a relative entropy between the unitarily-evolved state and the final state. Our finding refines the second law of thermodynamics and reveals a universal feature of thermal relaxation processes.
