Experimental measurement of the quantum geometric tensor using coupled qubits in diamond

Min Yu, Pengcheng Yang, Musang Gong +9

Geometry and topology are fundamental concepts, which underlie a wide range of fascinating physical phenomena such as topological states of matter and topological defects. In quant…

All fundamental non-contextuality inequalities are unique

Kishor Bharti, Atul Singh Arora, Leong Chuan Kwek +1

Contextuality is one way of capturing the non-classicality of quantum theory. The contextual nature of a theory is often witnessed via the violation of non-contextuality inequaliti…

Quantum Weak Coin Flipping

Atul Singh Arora, Jérémie Roland, Stephan Weis

We investigate weak coin flipping, a fundamental cryptographic primitive where two distrustful parties need to remotely establish a shared random bit. A cheating player can try to…

Practical No-Signalling proof Randomness Amplification using Hardy paradoxes and its experimental implementation

Ravishankar Ramanathan, Michał Horodecki, Hammad Anwer +6

Device-Independent (DI) security is the best form of quantum cryptography, providing information-theoretic security based on the very laws of nature. In its highest form, security…

Continuous-variable entropic uncertainty relations

Anaelle Hertz, Nicolas J. Cerf

Uncertainty relations are central to quantum physics. While they were originally formulated in terms of variances, they have later been successfully expressed with entropies follow…

Parametric instabilities in a 2D periodically-driven bosonic system: Beyond the weakly-interacting regime

T. Boulier, J. Maslek, M. Bukov +6

We experimentally investigate the effects of parametric instabilities on the short-time heating process of periodically-driven bosons in 2D optical lattices with a continuous trans…

Finding a marked node on any graph by continuous-time quantum walk

Shantanav Chakraborty, Leonardo Novo, Jérémie Roland

Spatial search by discrete-time quantum walk can find a marked node on any ergodic, reversible Markov chain quadratically faster than its classical counterpart, i.e.\ in a time…

Quantifying the randomness of copies of noisy Popescu-Rohrlich correlations

Boris Bourdoncle, Stefano Pironio, Antonio Acin

In a no-signaling world, the outputs of a nonlocal box cannot be completely predetermined, a feature that is exploited in many quantum information protocols exploiting non-locality…

Gadget structures in proofs of the Kochen-Specker theorem

Ravishankar Ramanathan, Monika Rosicka, Karol Horodecki +3

The Kochen-Specker theorem is a fundamental result in quantum foundations that has spawned massive interest since its inception. We show that within every Kochen-Specker graph, the…

Fock majorization in bosonic quantum channels with a passive environment

Michael G. Jabbour, Nicolas J. Cerf

We introduce a class of quantum channels called passive-environment bosonic channels. These channels are relevant from a quantum thermodynamical viewpoint because they correspond t…

All phase-space linear bosonic channels are approximately Gaussian dilatable

Ludovico Lami, Krishna Kumar Sabapathy, Andreas Winter

We compare two sets of multimode quantum channels acting on a finite collection of harmonic oscillators: (a) the set of linear bosonic channels, whose action is described as a line…

From Quantum Axiomatics to Quantum Conceptuality

Diederik Aerts, Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi, Sandro Sozzo +1

Since its inception, many physicists have seen in quantum mechanics the possibility, if not the necessity, of bringing cognitive aspects into the play, which were instead absent, o…

On Aerts' overlooked solution to the EPR paradox

Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox was enunciated in 1935 and since then it has made a lot of ink flow. Being a subtle result, it has also been largely misunderstood. Indeed…

Hypergraph framework for irreducible noncontextuality inequalities from logical proofs of the Kochen-Specker theorem

Ravi Kunjwal

Kochen-Specker (KS) theorem reveals the inconsistency between quantum theory and any putative underlying model of it satisfying the constraint of KS-noncontextuality. A logical pro…

Total Functions in QMA

Serge Massar, Miklos Santha

The complexity class QMA is the quantum analog of the classical complexity class NP. The functional analogs of NP and QMA, called functional NP (FNP) and functional QMA (FQMA), con…

Quantum violations in the Instrumental scenario and their relations to the Bell scenario

Thomas Van Himbeeck, Jonatan Bohr Brask, Stefano Pironio +3

The causal structure of any experiment implies restrictions on the observable correlations between measurement outcomes, which are different for experiments exploiting classical, q…

The power of block-encoded matrix powers: improved regression techniques via faster Hamiltonian simulation

Shantanav Chakraborty, András Gilyén, Stacey Jeffery

We apply the framework of block-encodings, introduced by Low and Chuang (under the name standard-form), to the study of quantum machine learning algorithms and derive general resul…

Simulating arbitrary Gaussian circuits with linear optics

Levon Chakhmakhchyan, Nicolas J. Cerf

Linear canonical transformations of bosonic modes correspond to Gaussian unitaries, which comprise passive linear-optical transformations as effected by a multiport passive interfe…

Multiparticle quantum interference in Bogoliubov bosonic transformations

Michael G. Jabbour, Nicolas J. Cerf

We explore the multiparticle transition probabilities in Gaussian unitaries effected by a two-mode Bogoliubov bosonic transformation on the mode annihilation and creation operators…

Resource theory of unextendibility and non-asymptotic quantum capacity

Eneet Kaur, Siddhartha Das, Mark M. Wilde +1

In this paper, we introduce the resource theory of unextendibility as a relaxation of the resource theory of entanglement. The free states in this resource theory are the k-extendi…

Device-independent quantum key distribution with single-photon sources

Jan Kołodyński, Alejandro Máttar, Paul Skrzypczyk +4

Device-independent quantum key distribution protocols allow two honest users to establish a secret key with minimal levels of trust on the provider, as security is proven without a…

Time-delocalized quantum subsystems and operations: on the existence of processes with indefinite causal structure in quantum mechanics

Ognyan Oreshkov

It has been shown that it is theoretically possible for there to exist higher-order quantum processes in which the operations performed by separate parties cannot be ascribed a def…

Bell monogamy relations in arbitrary qubit networks

Minh Cong Tran, Ravishankar Ramanathan, Matthew McKague +2

Characterizing trade-offs between simultaneous violations of multiple Bell inequalities in a large network of qubits is computationally demanding. We propose a graph-theoretic appr…
