Quantum Work Extraction Without Advance State Knowledge Could Simplify Future Thermal Machines
A new study reports that, in the asymptotic limit, it is possible to extract the maximum possible work from many copies of a quantum system without knowing the system’s state in advance.
Key Takeaways
- A Nature Communications study says maximum work extraction is possible without knowing a quantum system’s exact state in advance.
- The result applies in the asymptotic limit across many copies of the system.
