Specification of photonic circuits using Quantum Hardware Description Language
Nikolas Tezak, Armand Niederberger, Dmitri S. Pavlichin +2
Following the simple observation that the interconnection of a set of quantum optical input-output devices can be specified using structural mode VHSIC Hardware Description Languag…
The ground state of binary systems with a periodic modulation of the linear coupling
Armand Niederberger, Boris A. Malomed, Maciej Lewenstein
We consider a quasi-one-dimensional two-component systm, described by a pair of Nonlinear Schrödinger/Gross-Pitaevskii Equations (NLSEs/GPEs), which are coupled by the linear mixin…
Disorder-Induced Order in Quantum XY Chains
Armand Niederberger, Marek M. Rams, Jacek Dziarmaga +3
We observe signatures of disorder-induced order in 1D XY spin chains with an external, site-dependent uni-axial random field within the XY plane. We numerically investigate signatu…
Photon-Number-Splitting versus Cloning Attacks in Practical Implementations of the Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol for Quantum Cryptography
Armand Niederberger, Valerio Scarani, Nicolas Gisin
In practical quantum cryptography, the source sometimes produces multi-photon pulses, thus enabling the eavesdropper Eve to perform the powerful photon-number-splitting (PNS) attac…
