Commuting operations factorise
Renato Renner, Ramona Wolf
Consider two agents, Alice and Bob, each of whom takes a quantum input, operates on a shared quantum system , and produces a quantum output. Alice and Bob's operations may commu…
The debate over QKD: A rebuttal to the NSA's objections
Renato Renner, Ramona Wolf
A recent publication by the NSA assessing the usability of quantum cryptography has generated significant attention, concluding that this technology is not recommended for use. Her…
Energy requirement for implementing unitary gates on energy-unbounded systems
Yuxiang Yang, Renato Renner, Giulio Chiribella
The processing of quantum information always has a cost in terms of physical resources such as energy or time. Determining the resource requirements is not only an indispensable st…
Thought experiments in a quantum computer
Nuriya Nurgalieva, Simon Mathis, Lídia del Rio +1
We introduce a software package that allows users to design and run simulations of thought experiments in quantum theory. In particular, it covers cases where several reasoning age…
Quantum Advantage in Cryptography
Renato Renner, Ramona Wolf
Ever since its inception, cryptography has been caught in a vicious circle: Cryptographers keep inventing methods to hide information, and cryptanalysts break them, prompting crypt…
Embedding cyclic information-theoretic structures in acyclic spacetimes: no-go results for indefinite causality
V. Vilasini, Renato Renner
The notions of causality adopted within the quantum information and spacetime physics communities are distinct. Although both notions play a role in physical experiments, their gen…
