Optimal State Merging Without Decoupling
Jean-Christian Boileau, Joseph M. Renes
We construct an optimal state merging protocol by adapting a recently-discovered optimal entanglement distillation protcol [Renes and Boileau, Phys. Rev. A . 73, 032335 (2008)]. Th…
Practical post-processing for quantum-key-distribution experiments
Xiongfeng Ma, Chi-Hang Fred Fung, Jean-Christian Boileau +1
Quantum key distribution (QKD) promises unconditionally secure key generation between two distant parties by wisely exploiting properties of quantum mechanics. In QKD, experimental…
Conjectured Strong Complementary Information Tradeoff
Joseph M. Renes, Jean-Christian Boileau
We conjecture a new entropic uncertainty principle governing the entropy of complementary observations made on a system given side information in the form of quantum states, genera…
Physical Underpinnings of Privacy
Joseph M. Renes, Jean-Christian Boileau
One of the remarkable features of quantum mechanics is the ability to ensure secrecy. Private states embody this effect, as they are precisely those multipartite quantum states fro…
Quantum Reference Frames and the Classification of Rotationally-Invariant Maps
J. -C. Boileau, L. Sheridan, M. Laforest +1
We give a convenient representation for any map that is covariant with respect to an irreducible representation of SU(2), and use this representation to analyze the evolution of a…
Privacy Amplification, Private States, and the Uncertainty Principle
Joseph M. Renes, Jean-Christian Boileau
We show that three principle means of treating privacy amplification in quantum key distribution, private state distillation, classical privacy amplification, and via the uncertain…
