Entropic uncertainties for joint quantum measurements

Thomas Brougham, Erika Andersson, Stephen M Barnett

We investigate the uncertainty associated with a joint quantum measurement of two components of spin of a spin-1/2 particle and quantify this in terms of entropy. We consider two e…

Momentum exchange between light and a single atom: Abraham or Minkowski?

E. A. Hinds, Stephen M. Barnett

We consider the forces exerted by a pulse of plane-wave light on a single atom. The leading edge of the pulse exerts a dispersive force on the atom, and this modifies the atomic mo…

Upper bounds on fault tolerance thresholds of noisy Clifford-based quantum computers

M. B. Plenio, S. Virmani

We consider the possibility of adding noise to a quantum circuit to make it efficiently simulatable classically. In previous works this approach has been used to derive upper bound…

Quantum state discrimination

Stephen M. Barnett, Sarah Croke

It is a fundamental consequence of the superposition principle for quantum states that there must exist non-orthogonal states, that is states that, although different, have a non-z…

On the conditions for discrimination between quantum states with minimum error

Stephen M. Barnett, Sarah Croke

We provide a simple proof for the necessity of conditions for discriminating with minimum error between a known set of quantum states.

Finding the Kraus decomposition from a master equation and vice versa

Erika Andersson, Jim D. Cresser, Michael J. W. Hall

For any master equation which is local in time, whether Markovian, non-Markovian, of Lindblad form or not, a general procedure is reviewed for constructing the corresponding linear…
