• Abstract: Quantum catalysis, the ability to enable previously impossible transformations by using auxiliary systems without degrading them, has emerged as a powerful tool in various resource theories. Although catalytically enabled state transformations have been formally characterized by the monotonic behaviour of entropic quantifiers (e.g., the von Neumann entropy or non-equilibrium free energy), such characterizations often rely on unphysical assumptions, namely the ability of using catalysts of infinitely large dimension. This approach offers very limited insights into the practical significance of using catalysis for quantum information processing. Here, we address this problem across a broad class of quantum resource theories. Leveraging quantum information tools beyond the asymptotic regime, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of catalytic transformations with finite-size catalysts. We further unveil connections between finite-size catalysis and multi-copy transformations. Notably, we discover a fascinating phenomenon of catalytic resonance: by carefully tailoring the catalysts's state, one can drastically reduce the required dimension of the catalyst, thus enabling efficient catalytic transformations with minimal resources. Finally, we illustrate our findings with examples from the resource theories of entanglement and thermodynamics, as well in the context of catalytic unitary transformations.

Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled states.

  We establish a theory of one-shot catalytic randomness in which uncorrelatedness is consumed in randomness. We show how much degeneracy of quantum state can boost the catalytic entropy beyond its ordinary entropy. We apply this theory to systems under conservation law that forbids superposition of certain quantum states.

• 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.

• Amplifying asymmetry with correlated catalysts [15.457543251048637]
  A correlated catalyst is a finite-dimensional auxiliary, which exactly preserves its reduced state while allowed to become correlated to the quantum system. We show that the power of a catalyst increases with its dimension, and further, with a large enough catalyst, a qubit state with arbitrarily small amount of asymmetry can be converted to any mixed qubit state. Our results may also apply to the constraints on coherence evolution in quantum thermodynamics, and to the distribution of timing information between quantum clocks.

• All states are universal catalysts in quantum thermodynamics [0.0]
  We show that in resource theories governed by majorization all resourceful states catalysts are for all allowed transformations. In quantum thermodynamics this means that the so-called "second laws of thermodynamics" do not require a fine-tuned catalyst but rather any state, given sufficiently many copies, can serve as a useful catalyst.
