Optimal Dynamic Cooling of Multiple Qubits

Mattia Reda, Massimiliano Sacchi, Chiara Macchiavello +1

We solve the closed-system problem of cooling qubits, selected from identical thermal qubits, to the lowest common local temperature allowed by unitarity. The optimal proto…

Sparse anisotropic positive maps for qutrit entanglement: exact indecomposability and PPT geometry

Massimiliano F. Sacchi

Positive but not completely positive maps provide one of the most direct ways to detect entanglement beyond the positive-partial-transpose (PPT) criterion. We introduce and analyze…

Entanglement-Assisted Timing Optimization for Discriminating Amplitude-Damping Dynamics

Massimiliano F. Sacchi, Milajiguli Rexiti, Stefano Mancini

We analyze minimum-error discrimination of two qubit dynamical processes generated by phase-covariant amplitude-damping Lindbladians in a single-use scenario. The optimization invo…

Sparse positive maps on qutrits with exact nondecomposability thresholds and PPT-entanglement transitions

Davide Poderini, Angela Rosy Morgillo, Fabio Benatti +3

We study a family of sparse positive maps on qutrits for which positivity, decomposability, and PPT entanglement can all be analysed explicitly. The block structure of the associat…

Full-state information-disturbance tradeoff for direction estimation with antiparallel spin-coherent pairs

Massimiliano F. Sacchi

We determine the optimal information--disturbance tradeoff for estimating an unknown spatial direction encoded in two antiparallel spins. Rotational covariance reduces the optimiza…

Generating Non-Decomposable Maps with Differentiable Semidefinite Programming

Angela Rosy Morgillo, Davide Poderini, Fabio Anselmi +3

Positive maps that are not decomposable are a key resource in entanglement theory because they can detect bound entangled states, yet systematic methods for constructing them remai…
