Non-interactive XOR quantum oblivious transfer: optimal protocols and their experimental implementations

Lara Stroh, Nikola Horová, Robert Stárek +4

Oblivious transfer (OT) is an important cryptographic primitive. Any multi-party computation can be realised with OT as building block. XOR oblivious transfer (XOT) is a variant wh…

Imperfect 1-out-of-2 quantum oblivious transfer: bounds, a protocol, and its experimental implementation

Ryan Amiri, Robert Stárek, David Reichmuth +6

Oblivious transfer is an important primitive in modern cryptography. Applications include secure multiparty computation, oblivious sampling, e-voting, and signatures. Information-t…

Experimental quantum decoherence control by dark states of the environment

Robert Stárek, Michal Mičuda, Ivo Straka +5

Coherent interaction of a quantum system with environment usually induces quantum decoherence. However, remarkably, in certain configurations the coherent system-environment coupli…

Space QUEST mission proposal: Experimentally testing decoherence due to gravity

Siddarth Koduru Joshi, Jacques Pienaar, Timothy C. Ralph +42

Models of quantum systems on curved space-times lack sufficient experimental verification. Some speculative theories suggest that quantum properties, such as entanglement, may exhi…

Faithful quantum state transfer between weakly coupled qubits

Martina Miková, Ivo Straka, Michal Mičuda +5

One of the strengths of quantum information theory is that it can treat quantum states without referring to their particular physical representation. In principle, quantum states c…

Quantum controlled-Z gate for weakly interacting qubits

M. Micuda, R. Starek, I. Straka +5

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a scheme for implementation of a maximally entangling quantum controlled-Z gate between two weakly interacting systems. We conditionally e…
