Characterizing Symmetry-Protected Thermal Equilibrium by Work Extraction
The second law of thermodynamics states that work cannot be extracted from thermal equilibrium, whose quantum formulation is known as complete passivity; a state is called completely passive if work cannot be extracted from any number of copies of the state by any unitary operations. It has been est...
