Influence of the seed of measurement on the work extracted in a quantum Szilard engine

Summary: We investigate the influence of the seed of measurement on the performance of a Szilard engine based on a two-mode Gaussian state evolving in a noisy channel. Quantum work is extracted by performing a positive operator-valued measurement (POVM) on one of the two modes, after which this mode...
