• Abstract: Conservation of energy under thermal operations, \textbf{TO}, is ensured by commutation of the unitary generating such operations with the total Hamiltonian. However in realistic scenarios, perturbations or disturbances in the system are unavoidable, which in turn may alter the commutation relation and hence in succession may affect the physical processes governed by \textbf{TO}. We call the altered set of operations as approximate thermal operations, \textbf{TO}$_\epsilon$, where $\epsilon$ denotes a degree of disturbance. We provide state transformation conditions under such operations, providing what can be referred to as approximate second laws. We show that in presence of feeble perturbations in the system's Hamiltonian, the states transform in such a way that diagonal elements of the system states start talking not only with each other but also with the off-diagonal elements. In parallel, the off-diagonal elements transform in a way such that they start connecting with diagonal elements and other off-diagonal elements. Such cross-talk is disallowed in the unperturbed second laws. As an application, we show that approximate thermal operations may lead to finite ergotropy extraction from quantum batteries, something that the exact ones are unable to.

  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.

  We show how the quantum mechanics of the inverted harmonic oscillator can be mapped to the quantum mechanics of a particle. We demonstrate this by relating both of these systems to the Berry-Keating system with hamiltonian $H=(xp+px)/2$. Our map does not require the boundary condition to be self-adjoint, as can be appropriate for systems that involve the absorption or emission of particles.

  We show that entanglement of a two-mode fermionic state can be used as a genuine quantum resource in open-system thermodynamic processes. We thus demonstrate that quantum thermodynamics can shed light on the nature of fermionic entanglement and the operational meaning of the different notions used to define it.

This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
