We apply the axiomatic approach to thermodynamics presented by Giles to derive a unique measure of entanglement for bipartite pure states. This implies that local manipulations of entanglement in quantum information theory and adiabatic transformations of states in thermodynamics have the same underlying mathematical structure. We discuss possible extensions of our results to mixed and multipartite states.

Gaussian states with nonclassical properties such as squeezing and entanglement serve as crucial resources for quantum information processing. Accurately quantifying these properties within multimode Gaussian states has posed some challenges. To address this, we introduce a unified quantification: the "classical-nonclassical polarity," represented by P.

A spin-wave analysis is developed to calculate the energies of the localized excitations occurring in two-dimensional ferromagnetic van der Waals monolayers when a substitutional magnetic impurity is introduced. The magnetic ions lie on a bipartite honeycomb lattice (similar to that for graphene) and the theory includes the effects of both Ising anisotropy and single-ion anisotropy to stabilize the magnetic ordering perpendicular to the atomic plane at low temperatures. A Dyson-equation formalism, together with the spin-dependent Green's functions derived for van der Waals monolayers, is employed to evaluate the existence conditions and energies for the impurity modes, which lie above the band of spin-wave states of the pure host material.

This work investigates the impact of decoherence induced by pure dephasing and phonon-assisted tunneling mechanisms on the optical and quantum properties of two quantum dots. Special attention is given to the density matrix at steady state, and a detailed analysis of populations, coherences, optical transitions and the emission spectrum is performed. Additionally, we study the influence of both phonon-decoherence mechanisms on bipartite entanglement and the degree of mixedness of the system.

In the field of quantum information theory, the concept of quantum fidelity is employed to quantify the similarity between two quantum states. It has been observed that the fidelity between two states describing a bipartite quantum system A⊗B is always less than or equal to the quantum fidelity between the states in subsystem alone. While this fidelity inequality is well understood, determining the conditions under which the inequality becomes an equality remains an open question.

We adopt a resource-theoretic framework to classify different types of quantum network nonlocality in terms of operational constraints placed on the network. One type of constraint limits the parties to perform local Clifford gates on pure stabilizer states, and we show that quantum network nonlocality cannot emerge in this setting. Yet, if the constraint is relaxed to allow for mixed stabilizer states, then network nonlocality can indeed be obtained.
