Entanglement and secret-key-agreement capacities of bipartite quantum interactions and read-only memory devices

Siddhartha Das, Stefan Bäuml, Mark M. Wilde

A bipartite quantum interaction corresponds to the most general quantum interaction that can occur between two quantum systems in the presence of a bath. In this work, we determine…

Experimental nonlocality-based randomness generation with non-projective measurements

S. Gómez, A. Mattar, E. S. Gómez +4

We report on an optical setup generating more than one bit of randomness from one entangled bit (i.e. a maximally entangled state of two-qubits). The amount of randomness is certif…

What it takes to shun equilibration

R. Gallego, H. Wilming, J. Eisert +1

Numerous works have shown that under mild assumptions unitary dynamics inevitably leads to equilibration of physical expectation values if many energy eigenstates contribute to the…

Reaching the optomechanical strong coupling regime with a single atom in a cavity

Lukas Neumeier, Tracy E. Northup, Darrick E. Chang

A major goal within the field of optomechanics is to achieve the single-photon strong coupling regime, wherein even a mechanical displacement as small as the zero-point uncertainty…

Uniqueness of the joint measurement and the structure of the set of compatible quantum measurements

Leonardo Guerini, Marcelo Terra Cunha

We address the problem of characterising the compatible tuples of measurements that admit a unique joint measurement. We derive a uniqueness criterion based on the method of pertur…

Tunable two-photon quantum interference of structured light

Vincenzo D'Ambrosio, Gonzalo Carvacho, Iris Agresti +2

Structured photons are nowadays an interesting resource in classical and quantum optics due to the richness of properties they show under propagation, focusing and in their interac…

Activation of entanglement from quantum coherence and superposition

Lu-Feng Qiao, Jun Gao, Alexander Streltsov +11

Quantum entanglement and coherence are two fundamental features of nature, arising from the superposition principle of quantum mechanics. While considered as puzzling phenomena in…

Optimization of photon storage fidelity in ordered atomic arrays

M. T. Manzoni, M. Moreno-Cardoner, A. Asenjo-Garcia +3

A major application for atomic ensembles consists of a quantum memory for light, in which an optical state can be reversibly converted to a collective atomic excitation on demand.…

Fundamental limits to frequency estimation: A comprehensive microscopic perspective

Jan F. Haase, Andrea Smirne, Jan Kołodyński +2

We consider a scenario in which qubit-like probes are used to sense an external field that linearly affects their energy splitting. Following the frequency estimation approach in w…

Distinguishing computable mixtures of quantum states

Ignacio H. López Grande, Gabriel Senno, Gonzalo de la Torre +4

In this article we extend results from our previous work [Bendersky, de la Torre, Senno, Figueira and Acín, Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 230406 (2016)] by providing a protocol to distingu…

Strong-field approximation in a rotating frame: High-order harmonic emission from p states in bicircular fields

Emilio Pisanty, Álvaro Jiménez-Galán

High-order harmonic generation with bicircular fields - the combination of counter-rotating circularly polarized pulses at different frequencies - results in a series of short-wave…

Optical sectioning in induced coherence tomography with frequency-entangled photons

Adam Vallés, Gerard Jiménez, Luis José Salazar-Serrano +1

We demonstrate a different scheme to perform optical sectioning of a sample based on the concept of induced coherence [Zou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 67, 318 (1991)]. This can be vie…
