How much energy would a character need to disassemble and reassemble thier matter?

I wanted to have characters that can control energy and matter, so Dr Manhattan came to mind as a great example of a character that does that.

Information on him says that he has complete awareness of and control over atomic and subatomic particles, due to him being an intrinsic field representation of a collection of the electromagnetic, and strong and weak nuclear forces.

I am unsure if he breaks matter down to quarks and electrons and the binding energy or just energy but I am using him as an example just to paint a picture of what kind of power I mean, so my question is:

How much energy would it take theoretically to split all the atoms in a human body down to free quarks and electrons and how much to bind them all back together?

just the energy needed for that amount of atoms not the tricky part of getting everything in the right place or taking them somewhere.
