Quantum hypothesis testing of non-mixed-unitarity: A multifaceted hierarchy of quantum channel discrimination

Pratik Ghosal, Pritam Halder, Ayan Patra +2

Given multiple uses of an unknown quantum channel, we determine whether it is a specified non-mixed-unitary channel or belongs to the set of mixed-unitary channels. Formulating thi…

Noise adaptive two-way secure deterministic quantum key distribution

Abinash Kar, Ayan Patra, Aditi Sen De +1

We introduce noise-adaptive quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols, in which the honest parties optimize the encoding (state preparation) and decoding (measurement basis) operati…

Beating noise in frequency estimation with squeezing and memory in continuous-variable systems

Ayan Patra, Manju, Aditi Sen De +1

Quantum metrology promises precision beyond classical limits, yet environmental noise typically degrades the quantum resources required for such enhancement. In this work, we inves…

Imaginarity-generating power of unitaries: A resource-theoretic approach

Akhil Kumar Awasthi, Mrinmoy Samanta, Sudipta Mondal +2

Imaginarity, stemming from the complex structure of quantum mechanics, has recently emerged as a fundamental resource, yet its dynamical generation remains largely unexplored. In t…

Higher-dimensional BKL dynamics in AdS black holes

Elena Cáceres, Ángel J. Murcia, Ayan K. Patra +1

Chaotic BKL dynamics provides a canonical description of the approach to spacelike singularities as a sequence of Kasner epochs grouped into eras. While this paradigm is well estab…

Hierarchies of Gaussian multimode entanglement from thermodynamic quantifiers

Mrinmoy Samanta, Sudipta Mondal, Ayan Patra +2

We develop a thermodynamic characterization of multimode entanglement in pure continuous-variable systems by quantifying the gap between globally and locally extractable work (ergo…

Cosmology inside a black hole: adding matter on the brane

José L. F. Barbón, Ayan K. Patra, Juan F. Pedraza +1

Braneworlds inside an AdS black hole provide simple models where a closed cosmology can be encoded in a dual field theory. Previous studies have focused on pure-tension branes, whe…

Kasner eons with matter: holographic excursions to the black hole singularity

Elena Cáceres, Ángel J. Murcia, Ayan K. Patra +1

Recent work has shown that introducing higher-curvature terms to the Einstein-Hilbert action causes the approach to a space-like singularity to unfold as a sequence of Kasner eons.…

Diving inside holographic metals

Javier Carballo, Ayan K. Patra, Juan F. Pedraza

We investigate the gravitational dual of a fermionic field theory at finite temperature and charge density in two spatial dimensions, subject to a deformation by a relevant scalar…

Shock waves, black hole interiors and holographic RG flows

Elena Cáceres, Ayan K. Patra, Juan F. Pedraza

We study holographic renormalization group (RG) flows perturbed by a shock wave in dimensions . The flows are obtained by deforming a holographic conformal field theory wi…
