• Abstract: In resource theories, catalysis refers to the possibility of enabling otherwise inaccessible quantum state transitions by providing the agent with an auxiliary system, under the condition that this auxiliary is returned to its initial state at the end of the protocol. Most studies to date have focused on fine-tuned catalytic processes that are highly sensitive to error: if the initial state of the system deviates even slightly from that for which the catalyst was designed, the catalyst would be irreparably degraded. To address this challenge, we introduce and study robust catalytic transformations and explore the extent of their capabilities. It turns out that robust catalysis is subtly related to the property of resource broadcasting. In particular, we show that the possibility of robust catalysis is equivalent to that of resource broadcasting in completely resource non-generating theories. This allows us to characterize a general class of resource theories that allow neither robust catalysis nor resource broadcasting, and another class where instead resource broadcasting and robust catalysis are possible and provide maximal advantage. Our approach encompasses a wide range of quantum resource theories, including entanglement, coherence, thermodynamics, magic, and imaginarity.

  Quantum, the ability to enable previously impossible transformations by using auxiliary systems without degrading them, has emerged as a powerful tool in various resource theories. We show how one can drastically reduce the required dimension of the catalyst thus enabling efficient catalytic transformations with minimal resources. Notably, we discover a fascinating phenomenon of catalytic resonance: tailoring the catalysts's state, one can drastically reduce the required dimension of the catalyst thus enabling efficient catalytic transformations with minimal resources.

  In the classical regime, thermodynamic state transformations are governed by the free energy. In the quantum regime, coherence and free energy are two independent resources. We show that allowing along with a source of free energy allows us to amplify any quantum coherence present in the quantum state arbitrarily.

  Many-copy entanglement manipulation procedures allow for highly entangled pure states from noisy states. We show that using an entangled catalyst cannot enhance the singlet distillation rate of a distillable quantum state. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and limitations of both catalytic and state transformations of entangled states.

• Learned Force Fields Are Ready For Ground State Catalyst Discovery [60.41853574951094]
  We present evidence that learned density functional theory (DFT'') force fields are ready for ground state catalyst discovery. Key finding is that relaxation using forces from a learned potential yields structures with similar or lower energy to those relaxed using the RPBE functional in over 50% of evaluated systems. We show that a force field trained on a locally harmonic energy surface with the same minima as a target DFT energy is also able to find lower or similar energy structures in over 50% of cases.

We show how much degeneracy of quantum state can boost the catalytic entropy beyond its ordinary entropy.

  We show that the resource theory of contextuality does not admit catalysts that can enable an otherwise impossible resource conversion. As entanglement allows for catalysts, this adds a further example to the list of "anomalies of entanglement," showing that nonlocality and entanglement behave differently as resources.
