Quantum polar decomposition algorithm
Seth Lloyd, Samuel Bosch, Giacomo De Palma +5
The polar decomposition for a matrix is , where is a positive Hermitian matrix and is unitary (or, if is not square, an isometry). This paper shows that the a…
General method to perform Microcanonical Monte Carlo Simulations
G. Palma, A. Riveros
Monte Carlo simulations have boosted the numerical study of several different physical systems and in particular, the canonical ensemble has been especially useful because of the e…
The conditional entropy power inequality for quantum additive noise channels
Giacomo De Palma, Stefan Huber
We prove the quantum conditional Entropy Power Inequality for quantum additive noise channels. This inequality lower bounds the quantum conditional entropy of the output of an addi…
The minimum error probability of quantum illumination
Giacomo De Palma, Johannes Borregaard
Quantum illumination is a technique for detecting the presence of a target in a noisy environment by means of a quantum probe. We prove that the two-mode squeezed vacuum state is t…
Gaussian optimizers and other topics in quantum information
Giacomo De Palma
The main topic of this thesis is the proof of two fundamental entropic inequalities for quantum Gaussian channels. Quantum Gaussian channels model the propagation of electromagneti…
Finite-size corrections to scaling of the magnetization distribution in the -model at zero temperature
G. Palma, F. Niedermayer, Z. Rácz +2
The zero-temperature, classical -model on an square-lattice is studied by exploring the distribution of its centered and normalized magnetization in t…
