论文摘要
我们在提取工作方面分析了单一使用量子通道或量子热力学中测量的好处。这突出了Unital和催化通道之间的联系,以及有关获得一定结果的一些细微之处,即实施测量的有条件工作成本。我们还考虑了后选择后的测量结果,并表明任何非平凡的后选择后都会带来无限的工作益处。
We analyse the benefit, in terms of extracting work, of having a single use of a quantum channel or measurement in quantum thermodynamics. This highlights a connection between unital and catalytic channels, and some subtleties concerning the conditional work cost of implementing a measurement given that a certain result was obtained. We also consider post-selected measurements, and show that any non-trivial post-selection leads to an unbounded work benefit.
