Realistic quantum network simulation for experimental BBM92 key distribution
Michelle Chalupnik, Brian Doolittle, Suparna Seshadri +8
Quantum key distribution (QKD) can provide secure key material between two parties without relying on assumptions about the computational power of an eavesdropper. QKD is performed…
Quantum Amplitude Estimation in the Presence of Noise
Eric G. Brown, Oktay Goktas, W. K. Tham
Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE) -- a technique by which the amplitude of a given quantum state can be estimated with quadratically fewer queries than by standard sampling -- is…
Gaussian ancillary bombardment
Daniel Grimmer, Eric Brown, Achim Kempf +2
We analyze in full detail the time evolution of an open Gaussian quantum system rapidly bombarded by Gaussian ancillae. As a particular case this analysis covers the thermalization…
A classification of open Gaussian dynamics
Daniel Grimmer, Eric Brown, Achim Kempf +2
We introduce a classification scheme for the generators of bosonic open Gaussian dynamics, providing instructive diagrams description for each type of dynamics. Using this classifi…
A quantum Otto engine with finite heat baths: energy, correlations, and degradation
Alejandro Pozas-Kerstjens, Eric G. Brown, Karen V. Hovhannisyan
We study a driven harmonic oscillator operating an Otto cycle between two thermal baths of finite size. By making extensive use of the tools of Gaussian quantum mechanics, we direc…
Passivity and practical work extraction using Gaussian operations
Eric G. Brown, Nicolai Friis, Marcus Huber
Quantum states that can yield work in a cyclical Hamiltonian process form one of the primary resources in the context of quantum thermodynamics. Conversely, states whose average en…
