The Two-Point energy Measurement (TPM) protocol defines the work done on a system undergoing unitary evolution as the difference in energy measurement outcomes performed before and after such evolution. By noting that energy measurements on the system can be modelled as a unitary premeasurement interaction between the system and a measurement apparatus, followed by measurement of the apparatus by a pointer observable, we show that it is possible to design a measurement scheme for the TPM…

Quantum Theory of Measurement
Quantum mechanics was discovered sixty-one years ago in 1925. It began with Heisenberg’s introduction of matrix mechanics, which was followed by Schrodinger finding his wave equation. Then Dirac gave…

This book presents a clear and detailed exposition of the fundamental concepts of quantum theory: states, effects, observables, channels and instru- ments. It introduces several up-to-date topics,…
When is a quantum measurement
The measurement of a quantum system is not consummated until irreversible processes have destroyed all phase coherence between different possible outcomes of that measurement. It is inconsistent to…
Ideal Projective Measurements Have Infinite Resource Costs
TLDR
It is shown that it is impossible to perform ideal projective measurements on quantum systems using finite resources, and protocols for achieving optimal correlation given finite resources are provided for the most general system and pointer Hamiltonians.

Quantum Jarzynski Equality in Open Quantum Systems from the One-Time Measurement Scheme.
TLDR
A modified quantum Jarzynski equality and the principle of maximum work with respect to the guessed quantum work are derived by exploiting the one-time measurement scheme, which only requires an initial energy measurement on the system alone.

Concepts of work in autonomous quantum heat engines
TLDR
This work analyzes work quantifiers for a heat-pumped three-level maser and derives the respective engine efficiencies, finding that in the classical limit of strong maser intensities the engine efficiency converges towards the Scovil--Schulz-DuBois maser efficiency, irrespective of the work quantifier.
Conditional work statistics of quantum measurements
In this paper we introduce a definition for conditional energy changes due to general quantum measurements, as the change in the conditional energy evaluated before, and after, the measurement…
