Author(s): Toshihiro Yada, Nobuyuki Yoshioka, and Takahiro Sagawa Understanding the thermal behavior of quantum many-body pure states is one of the most fundamental issues in quantum thermodynamics. It is widely known that typical pure states yield vanishing work, just as thermal states do, when one restricts to local operations that cannot access correlations amo… [Phys. Rev.
