Experimental Test of Nonlocality Limits from Relativistic Independence

Francesco Atzori, Salvatore Virzì, Enrico Rebufello +9

Quantum correlations, like entanglement, represent the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics, and pose essential issues and challenges to the interpretation of this pillar of m…

Universal quantum theory contains twisted logic

Francesco Atzori, Enrico Rebufello, Maria Violaris +9

Quantum theory is notoriously counterintuitive, and yet remains entirely self-consistent when applied universally. Here we uncover a new manifestation of its unusual consequences.…

Single-pair measurement of the Bell parameter

Salvatore Virzì, Enrico Rebufello, Francesco Atzori +10

Bell inequalities are one of the cornerstones of quantum foundations, and fundamental tools for quantum technologies. Recently, the scientific community worldwide has put a lot of…

Protective Measurement -- a new quantum measurement paradigm: detailed description of the first realisation

Enrico Rebufello, Fabrizio Piacentini, Alessio Avella +9

We present a detailed description of the experiment realising for the first time a protective measurement, a novel measurement protocol which combines weak interactions with a ``pr…

Anomalous weak values via a single photon detection

E. Rebufello, F. Piacentini, A. Avella +7

Is it possible that a measurement of a spin component of a spin-1/2 particle yields the value 100? In 1988 Aharonov, Albert and Vaidman argued that upon pre- and postselection of p…

Emergence of Constructor-based Irreversibility in Quantum Systems: Theory and Experiment

Chiara Marletto, Vlatko Vedral, Laura Knoll +7

The issue of irreversibility in a universe with time-reversal-symmetric laws is a central problem in physics. % , and, in particular, to statistical mechanics, information theory a…

Non-monogamy of spatio-temporal correlations and the black hole information loss paradox

C. Marletto, V. Vedral, S. Virzì +6

Pseudo-density matrices are a generalisation of quantum states and do not obey monogamy of quantum correlations. Could this be the solution to the paradox of information loss durin…

Theoretical description and experimental simulation of quantum entanglement near open time-like curves via pseudo-density operators

C. Marletto, V. Vedral, S. Virzì +6

Closed timelike curves are striking predictions of general relativity allowing for time-travel. They are afflicted by notorious causality issues (e.g. grandfather's paradox). Quant…

Optimal estimation of entanglement and discord in two-qubit states

Salvatore Virzí, Enrico Rebufello, Alessio Avella +5

Recently, the fast development of quantum technologies led to the need for tools allowing the characterization of quantum resources. In particular, the ability to estimate non-clas…

Towards a standard procedure for the measurement of the multi-photon component in a CW telecom heralded single-photon source

E. Rebufello, F. Piacentini, M. López +8

Single-photon sources are set to be a fundamental tool for metrological applications as well as for quantum information related technologies. Because of their upcoming widespread d…

Determining the Quantum Expectation Value by Measuring a Single Photon

F. Piacentini, A. Avella, E. Rebufello +9

Quantum mechanics, one of the keystones of modern physics, exhibits several peculiar properties, differentiating it from classical mechanics. One of the most intriguing is that var…
