Robust Unconditionally Secure Quantum Key Distribution with Two Nonorthogonal and Uninformative States
Marco Lucamarini, Giovanni Di Giuseppe, Kiyoshi Tamaki
We introduce a novel form of decoy-state technique to make the single-photon Bennett 1992 protocol robust against losses and noise of a communication channel. Two uninformative sta…
Photon statistics in the macroscopic realm measured without photon-counters
Alessandra Andreoni, Maria Bondani
In a macroscopic realm, in which photons are too many for being counted by any photon counting detector, photon statistics can be measured by using detectors simply endowed with li…
Universal unitary gate for single-photon spinorbit four-dimensional states
Sergei Slussarenko, Ebrahim Karimi, Bruno Piccirillo +2
The recently demonstrated possibility of entangling opposite values of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) of a photon with its spin enables the realization of nontrivial one-photon…
Experimental Entanglement and Nonlocality of a Two-Photon Six-Qubit Cluster State
Raino Ceccarelli, Giuseppe Vallone, Francesco De Martini +2
We create a six-qubit linear cluster state by transforming a two-photon hyperentangled state in which three qubits are encoded in each particle, one in the polarization and two in…
A simple representation of quantum process tomography
Giuliano Benenti, Giuliano Strini
We show that the Fano representation leads to a particularly simple and appealing form of the quantum process tomography matrix , in that the matrix is real, the n…
Enhancement of transmission rates in quantum memory channels with damping
G. Benenti, A. D'Arrigo, G. Falci
We consider the transfer of quantum information down a single-mode quantum transmission line. Such quantum channel is modeled as a damped harmonic oscillator, the interaction betwe…
