Generation of nonclassical states of light via truncation of mixed states

E. P. Mattos, A. Vidiella-Barranco

A possible way of generating nonclassical states of light, especially non-Gaussian states, is via the truncation of a given state in the Fock basis. In recent work, we presented an…

Quantum state truncation using an optical parametric amplifier and a beamsplitter

E. P. Mattos, A. Vidiella-Barranco

We present a scheme of quantum state truncation in the Fock basis (quantum scissors), based on the combined action of a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier and a beamsplitte…

Temperature estimation of an entangled pair of trapped ions

O. P. de Sá Neto, H. A. S. Costa, G. A. Prataviera +1

We apply estimation theory to a system formed by two interacting trapped ions. By using the Fisher matrix formalism, we introduce a simple scheme for estimation of the temperature…

Diverging quantum speed limits: a herald of classicality

Pablo M. Poggi, Steve Campbell, Sebastian Deffner

When is the quantum speed limit (QSL) really quantum? While vanishing QSL times often indicate emergent classical behavior, it is still not entirely understood what precise aspects…

Eavesdropping on the Decohering Environment: Quantum Darwinism, Amplification, and the Origin of Objective Classical Reality

Akram Touil, Bin Yan, Davide Girolami +2

"How much information about a system can one extract from a fragment of the environment that decohered it?" is the central question of Qua…

Emergence of noncontextuality under quantum Darwinism

Roberto D. Baldijão, Rafael Wagner, Cristhiano Duarte +2

Quantum Darwinism proposes that the proliferation of redundant information plays a major role in the emergence of objectivity out of the quantum world. Is this kind of objectivity…
