MoMPy: automated construction of moment matrices for semidefinite programming relaxations

Carles Roch i Carceller

We present MoMPy, an open-source Python package that provides a unified, declarative construction of moment matrices for semidefinite programming (SDP) hierarchies. The user declar…

Characterising the set of deterministic quantum correlations in prepare-and-measure scenarios

Nicola D'Alessandro, Oliver Karlsson, Carles Roch i Carceller

Correlations that do not admit a deterministic explanation are a central feature of quantum theory and a key resource for quantum information processing. Identifying and certifying…

Unlimited quantum correlation advantage from bound entanglement

Armin Tavakoli, Carles Roch i Carceller, Lucas Tendick +1

Entangled states that cannot be distilled to maximal entanglement are called bound entangled and they are often viewed as too weak to break the limitations of classical models. Her…

Bound entangled states are useful in prepare-and-measure scenarios

Carles Roch I Carceller, Armin Tavakoli

We show that bipartite bound entangled states make possible violations of correlation inequalities in the prepare-and-measure scenario. These inequalities are satisfied by all clas…
