Counterfactual reasoning yields a unitary model of constructor-based irreversibility, an incoherent homogenizer, new limits on work extraction from coherence, and a von Neumann entropy measure of locally inaccessible information.

Counterfactuals in Macroscopic Quantum Physics: Irreversibility, Measurement and Locality
Counterfactual reasoning yields a unitary model of constructor-based irreversibility, an incoherent homogenizer, new limits on work extraction from coherence, and a von Neumann entropy measure of locally inaccessible information.
