Improved key rate bounds for practical decoy-state quantum key distribution systems

Zhen Zhang, Qi Zhao, Mohsen Razavi +1

The decoy-state scheme is the most widely implemented quantum key distribution protocol in practice. In order to account for the finite-size key effects on the achievable secret ke…

Non-ergodicity in open quantum systems through quantum feedback

Lewis A. Clark, Fiona Torzewska, Ben Maybee +1

It is well known that quantum feedback can alter the dynamics of open quantum systems dramatically. In this paper, we show that non-ergodicity may be induced through quantum feedba…

Hybrid quantum computing with ancillas

Timothy J. Proctor, Viv Kendon

In the quest to build a practical quantum computer, it is important to use efficient schemes for enacting the elementary quantum operations from which quantum computer programs are…

Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution with nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond

Nicoló Lo Piparo, Mohsen Razavi, William J. Munro

Memory-assisted measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MA-MDI-QKD) has recently been proposed as a possible intermediate step towards the realization of quantum r…

Identifying quantum subsystems using Clausius' second law of thermodynamics

Adam Stokes, Prasenjit Deb, Almut Beige

There are many ways to decompose the Hilbert space H of a composite quantum system into tensor product subspaces. Different subsystem decompositions generally imply different inter…

Local versus Global Strategies in Multi-parameter Estimation

P. A. Knott, T. J. Proctor, A. J. Hayes +3

We consider the problem of estimating multiple phases using a multi-mode interferometer. In this setting we show that while global strategies with multi-mode entanglement can lead…
