All-photonic quantum key distribution beyond the single-repeater bound

Matthew S. Winnel, Sergio Juárez, Chithrabhanu Perumangatt +2

Quantum protocols require classical signaling, and when classical signals propagate faster than quantum ones, standard rate-loss limits can be surpassed. We introduce an all-photon…

Gaussian Atemporality: When Gaussian Quantum Correlations Imply Common Cause

Minjeong Song, Jayne Thompson, Matthew S. Winnel +4

Conventionally, covariances do not distinguish between spatial and temporal correlations. The same covariance matrix could equally describe temporal correlations between observatio…
