Capacity estimation and verification of quantum channels with arbitrarily correlated errors
Corsin Pfister, M. Adriaan Rol, Atul Mantri +2
One of the main figures of merit for quantum memories and quantum communication devices is their quantum capacity. It has been studied for arbitrary kinds of quantum channels, but…
Sifting attacks in finite-size quantum key distribution
Corsin Pfister, Norbert Lütkenhaus, Stephanie Wehner +1
A central assumption in quantum key distribution (QKD) is that Eve has no knowledge about which rounds will be used for parameter estimation or key distillation. Here we show that…
Understanding nature from experimental observations: a theory independent test for gravitational decoherence
C. Pfister, J. Kaniewski, M. Tomamichel +5
Quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity are presently not compatible. A particular question is whether gravity causes decoherence - an unavoidable source of noise. Several mode…
If no information gain implies no disturbance, then any discrete physical theory is classical
Corsin Pfister, Stephanie Wehner
It has been suggested that nature could be discrete in the sense that the underlying state space of a physical system has only a finite number of pure states. For example, the Bloc…
One simple postulate implies that every polytopic state space is classical
Corsin Pfister
In order to find a physical axiomatization of quantum theory, physical theories are often considered as a special case of a much more general framework of generalized probabilistic…
