Using abstract elastic membranes to learn about quantum measurements

Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi

We provide an accessible popular science version of a research article published by Diederik Aerts and the author [Ann. Phys. 351 (2014) 975--1025, arXiv:1404.2429], where an exten…

Simulating boson sampling in lossy architectures

Raúl García-Patrón, Jelmer J. Renema, Valery Shchesnovich

Photon losses are among the strongest imperfections affecting multi-photon interference. Despite their importance, little is known about their effect on boson sampling experiments.…

Tensor network states in time-bin quantum optics

Michael Lubasch, Antonio A. Valido, Jelmer J. Renema +5

The current shift in the quantum optics community towards large-size experiments -- with many modes and photons -- necessitates new classical simulation techniques that go beyond t…

Entanglement and secret-key-agreement capacities of bipartite quantum interactions and read-only memory devices

Siddhartha Das, Stefan Bäuml, Mark M. Wilde

A bipartite quantum interaction corresponds to the most general quantum interaction that can occur between two quantum systems in the presence of a bath. In this work, we determine…

Multidimensional entropic uncertainty relation based on a commutator matrix in position and momentum spaces

Anaelle Hertz, Luc Vanbever, Nicolas J. Cerf

The uncertainty relation for continuous variables due to Byalinicki-Birula and Mycielski expresses the complementarity between two -uples of canonically conjugate variables $(x_…

Practically secure quantum position verification

Siddhartha Das, George Siopsis

We discuss quantum position verification (QPV) protocols in which the verifiers create and send single-qubit states to the prover. QPV protocols using single-qubit states are known…

Environment-assisted analog quantum search

Leonardo Novo, Shantanav Chakraborty, Masoud Mohseni +1

Two main obstacles for observing quantum advantage in noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers (NISQ) are the finite precision effects due to control errors, or disorders, and de…

Frequency Multiplexing for Quasi-Deterministic Heralded Single-Photon Sources

Chaitali Joshi, Alessandro Farsi, Stéphane Clemmen +2

Single-photon sources based on optical parametric processes have been used extensively for quantum information applications due to their flexibility, room-temperature operation and…

Divergence-free approach for obtaining decompositions of quantum-optical processes

K. K. Sabapathy, J. S. Ivan, R. García-Patrón +1

Operator-sum representations of quantum channels can be obtained by applying the channel to one subsystem of a maximally entangled state and deploying the channel-state isomorphism…

Scaling maps of -ordered quasiprobabilities are either nonpositive or completely positive

J. Solomon Ivan, Krishna Kumar Sabapathy, R. Simon

Continuous-variable systems in quantum theory can be fully described through any one of the -ordered family of quasiprobabilities , . We…

Boson sampling with Gaussian measurements

Levon Chakhmakhchyan, Nicolas J. Cerf

We develop an alternative boson sampling model operating on single-photon states followed by linear interferometry and Gaussian measurements. The hardness proof for simulating such…

The Extended Bloch Representation of Quantum Mechanics for Infinite-Dimensional Entities

Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi

We show that the extended Bloch representation of quantum mechanics also applies to infinite-dimensional entities, to the extent that the number of (possibly infinitely degenerate)…

Trade-offs in multi-party Bell inequality violations in qubit networks

Ravishankar Ramanathan, Piotr Mironowicz

Two overlapping bipartite binary input Bell inequalities cannot be simultaneously violated as this would contradict the usual no-signalling principle. This property is known as mon…

Device-independent randomness generation with sublinear shared quantum resources

Cédric Bamps, Serge Massar, Stefano Pironio

In quantum cryptography, device-independent (DI) protocols can be certified secure without requiring assumptions about the inner workings of the devices used to perform the protoco…

Entropy-power uncertainty relations : towards a tight inequality for all Gaussian pure states

Anaelle Hertz, Michael G. Jabbour, Nicolas J. Cerf

We show that a proper expression of the uncertainty relation for a pair of canonically-conjugate continuous variables relies on entropy power, a standard notion in Shannon informat…

Measurement uncertainty from no-signaling and non-locality

Justyna Łodyga, Waldemar Kłobus, Ravishankar Ramanathan +3

One of the formulations of Heisenberg uncertainty principle, concerning so-called measurement uncertainty, states that the measurement of one observable modifies the statistics of…
