Maximization of Extractable Randomness in a Quantum Random-Number Generator

TL;DR: In this article, a method for maximizing the conditional min-entropy of the number sequence generated from a given quantum-to-classical noise ratio is presented, which can achieve real-time random number generation rate of 14 (Mbit/s)/MHz.
Journal ArticleDOI

Min-entropy uncertainty relation for finite-size cryptography.

TL;DR: A new uncertainty relation is proved in terms of the smooth min-entropy that is only marginally less strong, but has the crucial property that it can be applied to rather small block lengths, which paves the way for a practical implementation of many cryptographic protocols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surpassing the Carnot efficiency by extracting imperfect work

TL;DR: It is shown that the definition of "work" is crucial and if one allows for a definition of work that tolerates a non-negligible entropy increase in the battery, then a small scale heat engine can possibly exceed the Carnot efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum field thermal machines

TL;DR: A blueprint of quantum field machines, which - once experimentally realized - would fill the gap in the lack of experimental implementations of thermal machines in which quantum effects play a decisive role, is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Smoothed generalized free energies for thermodynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced a family of smoothed generalized free energies, by constructing explicit smoothing procedures that maximize or minimize the free energy over an $\ensuremath{\varepsilon}$ ball of quantum states.
