Random quantum codes from Gaussian ensembles and an uncertainty relation

Patrick Hayden, Peter W. Shor, Andreas Winter

Using random Gaussian vectors and an information-uncertainty relation, we give a proof that the coherent information is an achievable rate for entanglement transmission through a n…

Counterexamples to additivity of minimum output p-Renyi entropy for p close to 0

Toby Cubitt, Aram W. Harrow, Debbie Leung +2

Complementing recent progress on the additivity conjecture of quantum information theory, showing that the minimum output p-Renyi entropies of channels are not generally additive f…

Heralded generation of entanglement with coupled cavities

Jaeyoon Cho, Dimitris G. Angelakis, Sougato Bose

We propose a scheme to generate two-photon, two-atom, or atom-photon entangledstates with a coupled system of two cavities. In our scheme, two cavity photonsare exchanged by the di…

On the local and non-local content of bipartite qubit and qutrit correlations

Valerio Scarani

The local and non-local contents of non-local probability distributions are studied using the approach of Elitzur, Popescu and Rohrlich [Phys. Lett. A \textbf{162}, 25 (1992)]. Thi…

Steady state entanglement between hybrid light-matter qubits

Dimitris G. Angelakis, Stefano Mancini, Sougato Bose

We study the case of two polaritonic qubits localized in two separate cavities coupled by a fiber/additional cavity. We show that surprisingly enough, even a coherent classical pum…

Upper Bounds for the Security of two Distributed-Phase Reference Protocols of Quantum Cryptography (Coherent-One-Way and Differential-Phase-Shift)

Cyril Branciard, Nicolas Gisin, Valerio Scarani

The Differential-Phase-Shift (DPS) and the Coherent-One-Way (COW) are among the most practical protocols for quantum cryptography, and are therefore the object of fast-paced experi…
