Post-selection technique for quantum channels with applications to quantum cryptography

Matthias Christandl, Robert Koenig, Renato Renner

We propose a general method for studying properties of quantum channels acting on an n-partite system, whose action is invariant under permutations of the subsystems. Our main resu…

On the Weak Measurement of Velocity in Bohmian Mechanics

Detlef Duerr, Sheldon Goldstein, Nino Zanghi

In a recent article (New Journal of Physics 9, 165, 2007), Wiseman has proposed the use of so-called weak measurements for the determination of the velocity of a quantum particle a…

Optimal control of a leaking qubit

Patrick Rebentrost, Frank K. Wilhelm

Physical implementations of quantum bits can contain coherent transitions to energetically close non-qubit states. In particular, for anharmonic oscillator systems such as the supe…
