We show how the presence of entanglement in a bipartite Gaussian state can be detected by the amount of work extracted by a continuos variable Szilard-like device, where the bipartite state serves as the working medium of the engine. We…

Entanglement of spatially separated quantum states is usually defined with respect to a reference frame provided by some external observer. Thus, if one wishes to localize the quantum information within a spatially separated entangled…

A subsystem of an entangled ground state is in a mixed state. Thus, if we isolate this subsystem from its surroundings we may be able to extract work applying unitary transformations, up to a maximal amount which is called ergotropy. Once…

Entanglement is one of the most studied properties of quantum mechanics for its application in quantum information protocols. Nevertheless, detecting the presence of entanglement in large multipartite sates continues to be a great challenge…

We study compression strategies for multipartite entanglement distribution under uncertainty in the partitioning of the quantum state. When the partition is not known at the time of state preparation, we show that a joint design of the…

The role of quantum entanglement in thermodynamical systems remains elusive. Does entanglement result in thermodynamic advantages or does it impose fundamental limitations? Here, we unambiguously quantify the amount of heat and work in a…
