Robust Entanglement Witnessing via Dense Network Coding with Graph States

Brian Doolittle, Ian George

Practical tests for witnessing entanglement in the presence of noise are needed to verify and apply entanglement-based applications in real-world communication networks. Quantum de…

Communication Advantages from Quantum Dense Network Coding

Ian George, Brian Doolittle

A central problem in quantum information theory is understanding how quantum resources can be used to communicate information more efficiently than classical resources. We introduc…

Modulation Graphs in Popular Music

Jason I. Brown, Ian George

In this paper, graph theory is used to explore the musical notion of tonal modulation, in theory and application. We define (pivot) modulation graphs based on the common scales use…

Revisiting Pure State Transformations with Zero Communication

Ian George, Eric Chitambar

It is known that general convertibility of bipartite entangled states is not possible to arbitrary error without some classical communication. While some trade-offs between communi…

One-Shot Distributed Source Simulation: As Quantum as it Can Get

Ian George, Min-Hsiu Hsieh, Eric Chitambar

Distributed source simulation is the task where two (or more) parties share some correlated randomness and use local operations and no communication to convert this into some targe…

Cone-Restricted Information Theory

Ian George, Eric Chitambar

The max-relative entropy and the conditional min-entropy it induces have become central to one-shot information theory. Both may be expressed in terms of a conic program over the p…

The Round Complexity of Local Operations and Classical Communication (LOCC) in Random-Party Entanglement Distillation

Guangkuo Liu, Ian George, Eric Chitambar

A powerful operational paradigm for distributed quantum information processing involves manipulating pre-shared entanglement by local operations and classical communication (LOCC).…

Finite-Key Analysis of Quantum Key Distribution with Characterized Devices Using Entropy Accumulation

Ian George, Jie Lin, Thomas van Himbeeck +2

The Entropy Accumulation Theorem (EAT) was introduced to significantly improve the finite-size rates for device-independent quantum information processing tasks such as device-inde…

The Communication Value of a Quantum Channel

Eric Chitambar, Ian George, Brian Doolittle +1

There are various ways to quantify the communication capabilities of a quantum channel. In this work we study the communication value (cv) of channel, which describes the optimal s…

Limits of Detecting Extraterrestrial Civilizations

Ian George, Xinan Chen, Lav R. Varshney

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a scientific endeavor which struggles with unique issues -- a strong indeterminacy in what data to look for and when to do so…

The Twelvefold Way of Non-Sequential Lossless Compression

Taha Ameen ur Rahman, Alton S. Barbehenn, Xinan Chen +27

Many information sources are not just sequences of distinguishable symbols but rather have invariances governed by alternative counting paradigms such as permutations, combinations…

Numerical Calculations of Finite Key Rate for General Quantum Key Distribution Protocols

Ian George, Jie Lin, Norbert Lütkenhaus

Finite key analysis of quantum key distribution (QKD) is an important tool for any QKD implementation. While much work has been done on the framework of finite key analysis, the ap…
