Quantum Partial Information Decompositions, an Operational Order on Ensembles, and Direct Quantifications of Objective Information

Alexander Nico-Katz

The partial information decomposition (PID) framework is an extension of classical information theory that enables a systematic analysis of the structure of information in multipar…

Observation of magnetic quantum phase crossovers in a semiconductor spin ladder

Elizaveta Morozova, Xin Zhang, Utso Bhattacharya +9

Understanding collective phases of strongly correlated quantum magnets relies on theoretically tractable model systems with precise microscopic control. Antiferromagnetic spin ladd…

A Zero Added Loss Multiplexing (ZALM) Source Simulation

Jerry Horgan, Alexander Nico-Katz, Shelbi L. Jenkins +6

Zero Added Loss Multiplexing (ZALM) offers broadband, per channel heralded EPR pairs, with a rich parameter space that allows its performance to be tailored for specific applicatio…

Entanglement Purification With Finite Latency Classical Communication in Quantum Networks

Vivek Vasan, Alexander Nico-Katz, Boulat A. Bash +2

Quantum networks rely on high fidelity entangled pairs distributed to nodes, but maintaining their fidelity is challenged by environmental decoherence during storage. Entanglement…

A Random Matrix Theory of Pauli Tomography

Nathan Keenan, John Goold, Alex Nico-Katz

Quantum state tomography (QST), the process of reconstructing some unknown quantum state from repeated measurements on copies of said state, is a foundationally important t…

Control Protocol for Entangled Pair Verification in Quantum Optical Networks

Vivek Vasan, Anuj Agrawal, Alexander Nico-Katz +4

We consider quantum networks, where entangled photon pairs are distributed using fibre optic links from a centralized source to entangling nodes. The entanglement is then stored (v…

Anomalous transport in U(1)-symmetric quantum circuits

Alessandro Summer, Alex Nico-Katz, Shane Dooley +1

In this work we investigate discrete-time transport in a generic U(1)-symmetric disordered model tuned across an array of different dynamical regimes. We develop an aggregate quant…

Can Quantum Computers Do Nothing?

Alexander Nico-Katz, Nathan Keenan, John Goold

Quantum computing platforms are subject to contradictory engineering requirements: qubits must be protected from mutual interactions when idling ('doing nothing'), and strongly int…
