论文摘要
在化学中,催化剂是一种物质,可以使化学反应或增加其速率,同时在此过程中保持不变。量子催化不是化学反应,而是增强了我们在物理约束下将量子状态相互转化为彼此的能力。约束的性质取决于正在研究的问题,并且可以从能源保存中出现。本文回顾了量子催化的最新发展,并给出了这一研究方向的历史概述。我们专注于量子纠缠和连贯性的催化,还讨论了量子热力学和一般量子资源理论中的这种现象。我们回顾了量子催化的应用,还讨论了有关通用催化的最新工作,其中催化剂的量子状态不取决于要转化的状态。还考虑了催化性挪用公司,如果催化剂的状态可以改变过渡,就会发生这种现象。
In chemistry, a catalyst is a substance which enables a chemical reaction or increases its rate, while remaining unchanged in the process. Instead of chemical reactions, quantum catalysis enhances our ability to convert quantum states into each other under physical constraints. The nature of the constraints depends on the problem under study and can arise, e.g., from energy preservation. This article reviews the most recent developments in quantum catalysis and gives a historical overview of this research direction. We focus on the catalysis of quantum entanglement and coherence, and also discuss this phenomenon in quantum thermodynamics and general quantum resource theories. We review applications of quantum catalysis and also discuss the recent efforts on universal catalysis, where the quantum state of the catalyst does not depend on the states to be transformed. Catalytic embezzling is also considered, a phenomenon that occurs if the catalyst's state can change in the transition.
