Thermodynamic Work Gain from Entanglement

Quantum Physics 2014-01-30 v4 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

We show that entanglement can be utilized to extract thermodynamic work beyond classical correlation via feedback control based on measurement on part of a composite system. The net work gain due to entanglement is determined by the change in the mutual information content between the subsystems that is accessible by the memory.
