The Thermomajorization Polytope and its Degeneracies — Frederik vom Ende1 and •Emanuel Malvetti2,3 — 1Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems, Freie Universität Berlin, 14195 Berlin, Germany — 2School of Natural Sciences, Technische Universität München, 85737 Garching, Germany — 3Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology & Munich Quantum Valley, 80799 München, Germany
In quantum thermodynamics thermal operations are considered free. Our goal is to understand which states are reachable from a given initial state using thermal operations. In the quasi-classical case of diagonal states the problem reduces to understanding the thermomajorization polytope. By drawing a connection between the polytope of Gibbs-stochastic matrices and transportation polytopes we study the degeneracies of the thermomajorization polytope and as a consequence we can characterize in which cases cyclic state transfers are possible.
