Optimal control in phase space applied to minimal-time transfer of thermal atoms in optical traps

Omar Morandi, Sara Nicoletti, Vladislav Gavryusev +1

We present an optimal control procedure for the non-adiabatic transport of ultracold neutral thermal atoms in optical tweezers arranged in a one-dimensional array, with focus on re…

Frequency-bin entanglement-based quantum key distribution

Noemi Tagliavacche, Massimo Borghi, Giulia Guarda +5

Entanglement is an essential ingredient in many quantum communication protocols. In particular, entanglement can be exploited in quantum key distribution (QKD) to generate two corr…

Stimulated light emission and inelastic scattering by a classical linear system of rotating particles

Ana Asenjo-Garcia, Alejandro Manjavacas, F. Javier García de Abajo

The rotational dynamics of particles subject to external illumination is found to produce light amplification and inelastic scattering at high rotation velocities. Light emission a…

Vacuum friction in rotating particles

A. Manjavacas, F. J. García de Abajo

We study the frictional torque acting on particles rotating in empty space. At zero temperature, vacuum friction transforms mechanical energy into light emission and produces parti…

Controlling entanglement sudden death in cavity QED by classical driving fields

Jian-Song Zhang, Jing-Bo Xu, Qiang Lin

We investigate the entanglement dynamics of a quantum system consisting of two-level atoms interacting with vacuum or thermal fields with classical driving fields. We find that the…

Passive decoy state quantum key distribution: Closing the gap to perfect sources

Wolfgang Mauerer, Christine Silberhorn

We propose a quantum key distribution scheme which closely matches the performance of a perfect single photon source. It nearly attains the physical upper bound in terms of key gen…

New encoding schemes for quantum authentication

Priscila Garcia-Fernandez, Enrique Fernandez-Martinez, Esther Perez +1

We study the potential of general quantum operations, Trace-Preserving Completely-Positive Maps (TPCPs), as encoding and decoding mechanisms in quantum authentication protocols. Th…

Quantum authentication with unitary coding sets

Esther Perez, Marcos Curty, David J. Santos +1

A general class of authentication schemes for arbitrary quantum messages is proposed. The class is based on the use of sets of unitary quantum operations in both transmission and r…
