Efficient entanglement distillation without quantum memory

Daniela Abdelkhalek, Mareike Syllwasschy, Nicolas J. Cerf +2

Entanglement distribution between distant parties is an essential component to most quantum communication protocols. Unfortunately, decoherence effects such as phase noise in optic…

Semi-device-independent framework based on natural physical assumptions

Thomas Van Himbeeck, Erik Woodhead, Nicolas J. Cerf +2

The semi-device-independent approach provides a framework for prepare-and-measure quantum protocols using devices whose behavior must not be characterized nor trusted, except for a…

Relativistic Causality vs. No-Signaling as the limiting paradigm for correlations in physical theories

Paweł Horodecki, Ravishankar Ramanathan

The no-signaling constraints state that the probability distribution of the outputs of any subset of parties is independent of the inputs of the complementary set; here we re-exami…

Device-independent randomness generation from several Bell estimators

Olmo Nieto-Silleras, Cédric Bamps, Jonathan Silman +1

Device-independent randomness generation and quantum key distribution protocols rely on a fundamental relation between the non-locality of quantum theory and its random character.…

Quantum enhancement of randomness distribution

Raul Garcia-Patron, William Matthews, Andreas Winter

The capability of a given channel to communicate information is, a priori, distinct from its capability to distribute shared randomness. In this article we define randomness distri…

Decoherence and determinism in a one-dimensional cloud-chamber model

Jean-Marc Sparenberg, David Gaspard

The hypothesis by Sparenberg et al. (2013) that the particular linear tracks appearing in the measurement of a spherically-emitting radioactive source in a cloud chamber are determ…

A quantum-inspired algorithm for estimating the permanent of positive semidefinite matrices

L. Chakhmakhchyan, N. J. Cerf, R. Garcia-Patron

We construct a quantum-inspired classical algorithm for computing the permanent of Hermitian positive semidefinite matrices, by exploiting a connection between these mathematical s…

Bell inequalities tailored to maximally entangled states

Alexia Salavrakos, Remigiusz Augusiak, Jordi Tura +3

Bell inequalities have traditionally been used to demonstrate that quantum theory is nonlocal, in the sense that there exist correlations generated from composite quantum states th…

Revisiting the admissibility of non-contextual hidden variable models in quantum mechanics

Atul Singh Arora, Kishor Bharti, Arvind

We construct a non-contextual hidden variable model consistent with all the kinematic predictions of quantum mechanics (QM). The famous Bell-KS theorem shows that non-contextual mo…

Robust Bell inequalities from communication complexity

Sophie Laplante, Mathieu Laurière, Alexandre Nolin +2

The question of how large Bell inequality violations can be, for quantum distributions, has been the object of much work in the past several years. We say that a Bell inequality is…

Higher order nonclassicality from nonlinear coherent states for models with quadratic spectrum

Anaelle Hertz, Sanjib Dey, Véronique Hussin +1

Harmonic oscillator coherent states are well known to be the analogue of classical states. On the other hand, nonlinear and generalised coherent states may possess nonclassical pro…

Amplifying the randomness of weak sources correlated with devices

Hanna Wojewodka, Fernando G. S. L. Brandao, Andrzej Grudka +6

The problem of device-independent randomness amplification against no-signaling adversaries has so far been studied under the assumption that the weak source of randomness is uncor…
