• Abstract: The majorization relation has found numerous applications in mathematics, quantum information and resource theory, and quantum thermodynamics, where it describes the allowable transitions between two physical states. In many cases, when state vector $x$ does not majorize state vector $y$, it is nevertheless possible to find a catalyst - another vector $z$ such that $x \otimes z$ majorizes $y \otimes z$. Determining the feasibility of such catalytic transformation typically involves checking an infinite set of inequalities. Here, we derive a finite sufficient set of inequalities that imply catalysis. Extending this framework to thermodynamics, we also establish a finite set of sufficient conditions for catalytic state transformations under thermal operations. For novel examples, we provide a software toolbox implementing these conditions.

• Catalytic Gaussian thermal operations [0.26249027950824505]
  We study the problem of state transformations in the framework of Gaussian thermal resource theory in the presence of catalysts. We show that strong catalysts are useless for the single mode case, in that they do not expand the set of states reachable from a given initial state. We derive necessary conditions for transformations holding for any number of modes, for strong catalysts and approximate transformations, and for weak catalysts with and without a thermal bath.

• Stochastic approximate state conversion for entanglement and general quantum resource theories [41.94295877935867]
  An important problem in any quantum resource theory is to determine how quantum states can be converted into each other. Very few results have been presented on the intermediate regime between probabilistic and approximate transformations. We show that these bounds imply an upper bound on the rates for various classes of states under probabilistic transformations. We also show that the deterministic version of the single copy bounds can be applied for drawing limitations on the manipulation of quantum channels.

  The relative entropy of entanglement $E_Rite is defined as the distance of a multi-part quantum entanglement from the set of separable states as measured by the quantum relative entropy. We show that this state is always achieved, i.e. any state admits a closest separable state, even in dimensions; also, $E_Rite is everywhere lower semi-negative $lambda_$quasi-probability distribution.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.

• Sub-bosonic (deformed) ladder operators [62.997667081978825]
  We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness. 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.

• 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.
