Perturbative approach to the first law of quantum thermodynamics
Mario Reis, Maron F. Anka, Vinicius Gomes de Paula +1
In quantum thermodynamics, the decomposition of energy exchanges into heat and work remains an open problem beyond weak-coupling and slow-driving regimes. Recent formulations have…
Security bounds for unidimensional discrete-modulated CV-QKD: a Gaussian extremality approach
John A. Mora RodrÃguez, Maron F. Anka, Leonardo J. Pereira +2
Unidimensional (1D) Gaussian-modulated continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocols have been proposed as a way to simplify implementation and reduce costs through single…
An introductory review of the theory of continuous-variable quantum key distribution: Fundamentals, protocols, and security
Maron F Anka, John A. Mora RodrÃguez, Douglas F. Pinto +3
Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) has emerged as a promising approach for secure quantum communication, offering advantages such as high key generation rates, c…
Simulating Work Extraction in a Dinuclear Quantum Battery Using a Variational Quantum Algorithm
Lucas Galvão, Ana Clara das Neves, Maron Anka +1
Understanding the thermodynamic properties of quantum systems is essential for developing energy-efficient quantum technologies. In this regard, this work explores the application…
