We consider work extraction from $N$ copies of a quantum system. When the same work-extraction process is implemented on each copy, the relative size of fluctuations is expected to decay as $1/sqrt{N}$. Here, we consider protocols where the copies can be processed collectively, and show that in this case work fluctuations can disappear exponentially fast in $N$. As a consequence, a considerable proportion of the average extractable work $mathcal{W}$ can be obtained almost deterministically by globally processing a few copies of the state. This is derived in the two canonical scenarios for work extraction: (i) in thermally isolated systems, where $mathcal{W}$ corresponds to the energy difference between initial and passive states, known as the ergotropy, and (ii) in the presence of a thermal bath, where $mathcal{W}$ is given by the free energy difference between initial and thermal states.
The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems is one of the most fascinating problems in physics, with outstanding open questions on issues such as relaxation to equilibrium. An area of particular interest concerns few-body systems, where quantu
Work and quantum correlations are two fundamental resources in thermodynamics and quantum information theory. In this work we study how to use correlations among quantum systems to optimally store work. We analyse this question for isolated quantum e
Various non-classical approaches of distributed information processing, such as neural networks, computation with Ising models, reservoir computing, vector symbolic architectures, and others, employ the principle of collective-state computing. In thi
We calculate the first two moments and full probability distribution of the work performed on a system of bosonic particles in a two-mode Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian when the self-interaction term is varied instantaneously or with a finite-time ramp. In
Work in closed quantum systems is usually defined by a two-point measurement. This definition of work is compatible with quantum fluctuation theorems but it fundamentally differs from its classical counterpart. In this paper, we study the corresponde
