Coherence distillation machines are impossible in quantum thermodynamics

Can an idealised machine obtain pure coherent quantum states from mixed ones at a non-zero rate, or equivalently, can a machine distill synchronized quantum clocks starting from noisy ones? Iman Marvian demonstrates that this is impossible, even if the machine is allowed to spend an arbitrary amount...

Coherence distillation machines are impossible in quantum thermodynamics
description Can an idealised machine obtain pure coherent quantum states from mixed ones at a non-zero rate, or equivalently, can a machine distill synchronized quantum clocks starting from noisy ones? Iman Marvian demonstrates that this is impossible, even if the machine is allowed to spend an arbitrary amount of work.
