The cost of classically simulating quantum communication is as high as it could be

Riccardo Castellano, Pavel Sekatski, Nicolas Brunner

A long-standing open question is to characterize the classical communication cost of simulating the correlations arising from measurements on finite-dimensional quantum systems. We…

Quantifying the fidelity of a quantum memory

Victor Barizien, Sophie Egelhaaf, Angelo Gelmini Rodriguez +5

Quantum memories are key ingredients for future quantum networks. Developing methods for their certification is therefore an important, yet challenging, problem. In this work, we p…

Multi-copy and Catalytic Superactivation of Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality

Bora Ulu, Mirjam Weilenmann, Nicolas Brunner

Genuine multipartite Bell nonlocality (GMNL) aims at capturing correlations between many distant observers that are globally Bell nonlocal. A commonly used definition for GMNL is b…

Entanglement distribution and quantum storage of more than 8000 modes over a metropolitan network

Angelo Gelmini Rodriguez, Louis Nicolas, Théo Sanchez Mejia +6

Entanglement generation between telecommunication photons and matter is central to fibre-based quantum repeaters. Achieving practical communication rates requires multiplexing, whi…

Certification of the genuine resolution of photon number resolving detectors

Jef Pauwels, Towsif Taher, Roope Uola +3

Photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors are essential components of photonic quantum technologies, yet thus far, no practical metric exists to certify how many photons they can gen…

Thermodynamic Networks: Harnessing Non-Equilibrium Steady States for Computation

Patryk Lipka-Bartosik, Gianmichele Blasi, Javier Lalueza Puértolas +3

We introduce thermodynamic networks, a general framework for autonomous, physics-based computation using non-equilibrium steady states. These networks are modeled as a collection o…

A versatile neural-network toolbox for testing Bell locality in networks

Antoine Girardin, Mohammad Massi Rashidi, Géraldine Haack +2

Determining whether an observed distribution of events generated in a quantum network is Bell local, i.e., if it admits an alternative realization in terms of independent local var…

The power of quantum catalytic local operations

Patryk Lipka-Bartosik, Jessica Bavaresco, Nicolas Brunner +1

A key result in entanglement theory is that the addition of a catalyst dramatically enlarges the set of possible state transformations via local operations and classical communicat…

Device Independent Quantum Key Activation

Bora Ulu, Nicolas Brunner, Mirjam Weilenmann

Device-independent quantum key distribution (DIQKD) allows two distant parties to establish a secret key, based only on the observed Bell nonlocal distribution. It remains however,…

Catalytic Activation of Bell Nonlocality

Jessica Bavaresco, Nicolas Brunner, Antoine Girardin +2

The correlations of certain entangled states can be perfectly simulated classically via a local model. Hence such states are termed Bell local, as they cannot lead to Bell inequali…

Certification of quantum correlations and DIQKD at arbitrary distances through routed Bell tests

Pavel Sekatski, Jef Pauwels, Edwin Peter Lobo +2

Transmission loss represents a major obstacle to the device-independent certification of quantum correlations over long distances, limiting applications such as device-independent…

Bell nonlocality in quantum networks with unreliable sources: Loophole-free postelection via self-testing

Sadra Boreiri, Nicolas Brunner, Pavel Sekatski

We discuss Bell nonlocality in quantum networks with unreliable sources. Our main result is a condition on the observed data which ensures that inconclusive events can be safely di…

Thermodynamic Algorithms for Quadratic Programming

Patryk-Lipka Bartosik, Kaelan Donatella, Maxwell Aifer +4

Thermodynamic computing has emerged as a promising paradigm for accelerating computation by harnessing the thermalization properties of physical systems. This work introduces a nov…

Topologically Robust Quantum Network Nonlocality

Sadra Boreiri, Tamas Krivachy, Pavel Sekatski +2

We discuss quantum network Bell nonlocality in a setting where the network structure is not fully known. More concretely, an honest user may trust their local network topology, but…

Joint-measurability and quantum communication with untrusted devices

Michele Masini, Marie Ioannou, Nicolas Brunner +2

Photon loss represents a major challenge for the implementation of quantum communication protocols with untrusted devices, e.g. in the device-independent (DI) or semi-DI approaches…

Noise-robust proofs of quantum network nonlocality

Sadra Boreiri, Bora Ulu, Nicolas Brunner +1

Quantum networks allow for novel forms of quantum nonlocality. By exploiting the combination of entangled states and entangled measurements, strong nonlocal correlations can be gen…
