• Abstract: Ergotropy -- the maximal amount of unitarily extractable work -- measures the ``charge level'' of quantum batteries. We prove that in large many-body batteries ergotropy exhibits a concentration of measure phenomenon. Namely, the ergotropy of such systems is almost constant for almost all states sampled from the Hilbert--Schmidt measure. We establish this by first proving that ergotropy, as a function of the state, is Lipschitz-continuous with respect to the Bures distance, and then applying Levy's measure concentration lemma. In parallel, we showcase the analogous properties of von Neumann entropy, compiling and adapting known results about its continuity and concentration properties. Furthermore, we consider the situation with the least amount of prior information about the state. This corresponds to the quantum version of the Jeffreys prior distribution -- the Bures measure. In this case, there exist no analytical bounds guaranteeing exponential concentration of measure. Nonetheless, we provide numerical evidence that ergotropy, as well as von Neumann entropy, concentrate also in this case.

  We show how observational entropy of a system undergoing a unitary evolution chosen at random tends to increase with overwhelming probability. We show that for any observation that is sufficiently coarse with respect to the size of the system, regardless of the initial state of the system, random evolution renders its state practically indistinguishable.

  daemonic ergotropy is introduced to properly describe and quantify this work extraction enhancement in the quantum regime. We show that the corresponding daemonic ergotropy takes values between the ergotropy and the energy of the corresponding unconditional state. The upper bound is achieved by assuming an initial pure state and a perfectly efficient projective measurement on the environment.

• 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.

  We study the equilibration properties of isolated ergodic quantum systems initially prepared in a cat state. Our main result consists in showing that, even though decoherence is at work in the mean, there exists a remnant of the initial quantum coherences visible in the strength of the fluctuations of the steady state.
