Testing genuine multipartite nonlocality in phase space

Seung-Woo Lee, Mauro Paternostro, Jinhyoung Lee +1

We demonstrate genuine three-mode nonlocality based on phase space formalism. A Svetlichny-type Bell inequality is formulated in terms of the -parameterized quasiprobability fun…

Non-deterministic noiseless amplification via non-symplectic phase space transformations

Nathan Walk, Austin P. Lund, Timothy C. Ralph

We analyse the action of an ideal noiseless linear amplifier operator, $g^\hat{n}$, using the Wigner function phase space representation. In this setting we are able to clarify the…

Quantum tele-amplification with a continuous variable superposition state

Jonas S. Neergaard-Nielsen, Yujiro Eto, Chang-Woo Lee +2

Optical coherent states are classical light fields with high purity, and are essential carriers of information in optical networks. If these states could be controlled in the quant…

Correlations of entangled quantum states cannot be classically simulated

Denis Rosset, Cyril Branciard, Nicolas Gisin +1

Simulation tasks are insightful tools to compare information-theoretic resources. Considering a generalization of usual Bell scenarios where external quantum inputs are provided to…

Probing Planckian physics in de Sitter space with quantum correlations

Jun Feng, Yao-Zhong Zhang, Mark D. Gould +3

We study the quantum correlation and quantum communication channel of both free scalar and fermionic fields in de Sitter space, while the Planckian modification presented by the ch…

Breakdown of the cross-Kerr scheme for Photon Counting

Bixuan Fan, Anton F. Kockum, Joshua Combes +6

We show, in the context of single photon detection, that an atomic three-level model for a transmon in a transmission line does not support the predictions of the nonlinear polaris…

Quantum state preparation of a mechanical resonator using an optomechanical geometric phase

K. E. Khosla, M. R. Vanner, W. P. Bowen +1

We demonstrate that a geometric phase, generated via a sequence of four optomechanical interactions, can be used to increase, or generate nonlinearities in the unitary evolution of…

Notes on teleportation in an expanding space

Jun Feng, Wen-Li Yang, Yao-Zhong Zhang +1

We investigate the quantum teleportation between a conformal detector Alice and an inertial detector Bob in de Sitter space in two schemes, (i) one uses free scalar modes and (ii)…

Measurement-Device-Independent Entanglement Witnesses for All Entangled Quantum States

Cyril Branciard, Denis Rosset, Yeong-Cherng Liang +1

The problem of demonstrating entanglement is central to quantum information processing applications. Resorting to standard entanglement witnesses requires one to perfectly trust th…

Processing quantum information with relativistic motion of atoms

Eduardo Martin-Martinez, David Aasen, Achim Kempf

We show that particle detectors, such as 2-level atoms, in non-inertial motion (or in gravitational fields) could be used to build quantum gates for the processing of quantum infor…

Quantum limits on phase-preserving linear amplifiers

Carlton M. Caves, Joshua Combes, Zhang Jiang +1

The purpose of a phase-preserving linear amplifier is to make a small signal larger, regardless of its phase, so that it can be perceived by instruments incapable of resolving the…
