Complementarity of resources: work, entanglement, reference quant-ph/0501121 John Vaccaro Howard Wiseman Kurt Jacobs Fabio Anselmi University of Hertfordshire Hatfield, UK Griffith University Brisbane, Australia
S This talk • Superselection Rules (SSRs) • conservation of local particle number • general symmetry groups • Reference frames • asymmetry: ability to act as a reference • Extracting mechanical work • Bipartite systems under SSR • Accessible entanglement • Extracting local work • Hierarchy of restrictions/resources • Complementarity
Superselection Rules Conservation of particle number all physical operations conserve particle number cannot observe coherence between subspaces of different particle number effectively a superselection rule.
S S Expressed as symmetry group U(1) Operationally accessible states “crisp“ projective measurement of General symmetry group Symmetry group: unitary representation: Operationally accessible states system under SO(2) reduced coherence
S Reference systems (frames) Reference frames break the symmetry preserve coherence of system Any system with asymmetry can act as a reference system (frame) for G A symmetric system cannot act as a reference. R Measure of asymmetry asymmetric system von Neumann entropy induced by G reference system
Properties of asymmetry i) ii) iff is symmetric: iii) does not increase for G-SSR operations Q iv) Synergy of is given by
Example of Abelian case (particle number) system: asymmetry reference: Pegg & Barnett (1989). asymmetry combined: -invariant to -coherence is preserved reduction in asymmetry (synergy):

Synergy advantage of acting as a composite system acting as single system acting separately Upper bound asymmetry is a resource
Bipartite systems under SSR Local action of the group: local G-SSR
can act as local & shared reference Local asymmetry i) iff is locally symmetric: ii) iii) does not increase for locally G-SSR operations Q iv) Synergy of is given by
