Field-free molecular alignment induced by elliptically polarized laser pulses: non invasive 3 dimensional characterization
E. Hertz, D. Daems, S. Guérin +3
An investigation of field-free molecular alignment produced by elliptically polarized laser pulses is reported. Experiments are conducted in CO at room temperature. A non invas…
Isospectrality of conventional and new extended potentials, second-order supersymmetry and role of PT symmetry
B. Bagchi, C. Quesne, R. Roychoudhury
We develop a systematic approach to construct novel completely solvable rational potentials. Second-order supersymmetric quantum mechanics dictates the latter to be isospectral to…
A No-Go Theorem for Gaussian Quantum Error Correction
Julien Niset, Jaromir Fiurasek, Nicolas J. Cerf
It is proven that Gaussian operations are of no use for protecting Gaussian states against Gaussian errors in quantum communication protocols. Specifically, we introduce a new quan…
Quantum search by parallel eigenvalue adiabatic passage
D. Daems, S. Guérin, N. J. Cerf
We propose a strategy to achieve the Grover search algorithm by adiabatic passage in a very efficient way. An adiabatic process can be characterized by the instantaneous eigenvalue…
Tests of multimode quantum non-locality with homodyne measurements
Antonio Acín, Nicolas J. Cerf, Alessandro Ferraro +1
We investigate the violation of local realism in Bell tests involving homodyne measurements performed on multimode continuous-variable states. By binning the measurement outcomes i…
Analog Grover search by adiabatic passage in a cavity-laser-atom system
D. Daems, S. Guérin
A physical implementation of the adiabatic Grover search is theoretically investigated in a system of N identical three-level atoms trapped in a single mode cavity. Some of the ato…
Extending Hudson's theorem to mixed quantum states
A. Mandilara, E. Karpov, N. J. Cerf
According to Hudson's theorem, any pure quantum state with a positive Wigner function is necessarily a Gaussian state. Here, we make a step towards the extension of this theorem to…
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocols over noisy channels
Raul Garcia-Patron, Nicolas J. Cerf
A continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocol based on squeezed states and heterodyne detection is introduced and shown to attain higher secret key rates over a noisy lin…
Experimental quantum tossing of a single coin
A. T. Nguyen, J. Frison, K. Phan Huy +1
The cryptographic protocol of coin tossing consists of two parties, Alice and Bob, that do not trust each other, but want to generate a random bit. If the parties use a classical c…
The Security of Practical Quantum Key Distribution
Valerio Scarani, Helle Bechmann-Pasquinucci, Nicolas J. Cerf +3
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the first quantum information task to reach the level of mature technology, already fit for commercialization. It aims at the creation of a secret…
