Quantum State Discrimination as Bayesian Experimental Design
Thomas Guff, Yuval R. Sanders, Nathan A. McMahon +1
We show that quantum state discrimination sits neatly in the framework of Bayesian experimental design. In this setting, the two main branches of quantum state discrimination (mini…

Power and Efficiency of a Thermal Engine with a Coherent Bath
Thomas Guff, Shakib Daryanoosh, Ben Q. Baragiola +1
We consider a quantum engine driven by repeated weak interactions with a heat bath of identical three-level atoms. This model was first introduced by Scully et al. [Science, 2003],…

Quantum master equations for entangled qubit environments
Shakib Daryanoosh, Ben Q. Baragiola, Thomas Guff +1
We study the Markovian dynamics of a collection of n quantum systems coupled to an irreversible environmental channel consisting of a stream of n entangled qubits. Within the frame…
