Finite-energy two-way assisted capacities: Exact formulas for multimode loss and fading
Stefano Pirandola, Gaetana Spedalieri
We study quantum communication, entanglement distribution, and secret-key generation through multimode bosonic loss and fading channels, assisted by local quantum operations and tw…
Quantum-enhanced biosensing enables earlier detection of bacterial growth
Rayssa B. de Andrade, Anne Egholm Høgh, Gaetana Spedalieri +4
Rapid detection of bacterial growth is crucial in clinical, food safety, and environmental contexts, yet conventional optical methods are limited by noise and require hours of incu…
An Overview of CV-MDI-QKD
Alasdair I. Fletcher, Cillian Harney, Masoud Ghalaii +6
As quantum key distribution (QKD) emerges as a robust defense against quantum computer threats, significant advancements have been realized by researchers. A pivotal focus has been…
Quantum Illumination and Quantum Radar: A Brief Overview
Athena Karsa, Alasdair Fletcher, Gaetana Spedalieri +1
Quantum illumination (QI) and quantum radar have emerged as potentially groundbreaking technologies, leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics to revolutionise the field of re…
Performance of coherent-state quantum target detection in the context of asymmetric hypothesis testing
Gaetana Spedalieri, Stefano Pirandola
Due to the difficulties of implementing joint measurements, quantum illumination schemes that are based on signal-idler entanglement are difficult to implement in practice. For thi…
Optimal squeezing for quantum target detection
Gaetana Spedalieri, Stefano Pirandola
It is not clear if the performance of a quantum lidar or radar, without an idler and only using Gaussian resources, could exceed the performance of a semiclassical setup based on c…
