Proposals for ruling out the real quantum theories in an entanglement-swapping quantum network with causally independent sources

Jian Yao, Hu Chen, Ya-Li Mao +2

The question of whether complex numbers play a fundamental role in quantum theory has been debated since the inception of quantum mechanics. Recently, a feasible proposal to differ…

Measurement uncertainty relation for three observables

Sixia Yu, Ya-Li Mao, Chang Niu +3

In this work we establish rigorously a measurement uncertainty relation (MUR) for three unbiased qubit observables, which was previously shown to hold true under some presumptions.…

Recycling nonlocality in a quantum network

Ya-Li Mao, Zheng-Da Li, Anna Steffinlongo +6

It has recently been discovered that the nonlocality of an entangled qubit pair can be recycled for several Bell experiments. Here, we go beyond standard Bell scenarios and investi…

Test of Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality

Ya-Li Mao, Zheng-Da Li, Sixia Yu +1

While Bell nonlocality of a bipartite system is counter-intuitive, multipartite nonlocality in our many-body world turns out to be even more so. Recent theoretical study reveals in…

Testing real quantum theory in an optical quantum network

Zheng-Da Li, Ya-Li Mao, Mirjam Weilenmann +12

Quantum theory is commonly formulated in complex Hilbert spaces. However, the question of whether complex numbers need to be given a fundamental role in the theory has been debated…

Error-Disturbance Trade-off in Sequential Quantum Measurements

Ya-Li Mao, Zhi-Hao Ma, Rui-Bo Jin +5

We derive a state dependent error-disturbance trade-off based on a statistical distance in the sequential measurements of a pair of noncommutative observables and experimentally ve…
