Exclusive Control of Quantum Memory Erasure
Mir Alimuddin, Nathan Shettell, Raja Yehia +2
Erasing memory is a fundamental operational task in quantum information processing, governed by Landauer's principle, which links information loss to thermodynamic work. We introdu…
Quantification of the energy consumption of entanglement distribution
Karol Horodecki, Marek Winczewski, Leonard Sikorski +3
Inspired by environmental sciences, we develop a framework to quantify the energy needed to generate quantum entanglement via noisy quantum channels, focusing on the hardware-indep…
Quantum Key Distribution over Complex Networks
Luca Mariani, Raja Yehia, Carlos Pascual-GarcÃa +4
There exist several initiatives worldwide to deploy quantum key distribution (QKD) over existing fibre networks and achieve quantum-safe security at large scales. To understand the…
Energetic Analysis of Emerging Quantum Communication Protocols
Raja Yehia, Yoann Piétri, Carlos Pascual-GarcÃa +2
With the rapid development and early industrialization of quantum technologies, it is of great interest to analyze their overall energy consumption before planning for their wide-s…
