• Abstract: Quantum thermodynamics is often formulated as a theory with constrained access to operations and resources. In this manuscript, we find a closed formula for the Gaussian ergotropy, i.e. the maximum energy that can be extracted from bosonic systems governed by quadratic Hamiltonians by means of Gaussian unitaries only. This formula resembles the well-known eigenvalue-based expression for the standard ergotropy, but is instead formulated using symplectic eigenvalues. We further prove that the Gaussian ergotropy is additive, indicating that the multiple-copy scenario does not benefit from Gaussian entangling operations. Extending our analysis to the relationship between ergotropic and entropic functions, we establish bounds linking entropic measures of Gaussianity to extractable work. Finally, we generalise our framework to open systems by studying the optimal state preparation that minimises the energy output in a Gaussian channel.

  We study entanglement within a set of squeezed modes that have been evolved by a random linear optical unitary. We prove various results on the typicality of entanglement as measured by the R'enyi-2 entropy. Our main make use of a symmetry property obeyed by the average and the variance of the entropy that dramatically simplifies the averaging over unitaries.

  We extend the relativistic quantum channel associated to non-perturbative models to include a very large class of Gaussian states of the quantum field. We show that all physical results involving the non-vacuum Gaussian states can be rephrased in terms of interaction with the vacuum state. In these non-perturbative models it is possible to perform exact computation of the R'enyi entropy.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  In particular, strict energy conservation between the system and environment implies that the dissipative dynamical map commutes with the unitary system propagator. We use spectral analysis to prove the general form of the ensuing master equation.
