Polar Codes for Quantum Channel Discrimination

Statistical discrimination of quantum channels is a crucial part of many protocols in quantum
communication and quantum cryptography. Several paths to improve channel discrimination
exist in the literature. However, there is much to be done in the avenue of optimizing channel
discrimination using classical codes. At least two open questions can be pointed out:
how to construct low complexity encoding schemes that are interesting for channel discrimination and,
more importantly, how to develop capacity-achieving protocols.

Shadow Tomography of Quantum States: Progress and Prospects

Seminar date and time:

Given an unknown quantum state rho, and a known list of two-outcome measurements E_1,...,E_M, "shadow tomography" is the task of estimating the probability that each E_i accepts rho, by carefully measuring only a few copies of rho. In 2018, I gave the first nontrivial protocol for this task.

By now, the device-independent approach to quantum physics
has been a fruitful tool to better understand quantum theory and find
new applications of quantum technology. In the device-independent
approach, states and measurements are black boxes, without specific
physical properties and this device-independence has then influenced
the development of the so-called generalized probabilistic theories.
However, with this inheritance, in those theories it is difficult to
approach questions regarding physics. For example: How does a system

Bayesian parameter estimation using Gaussian states and measurements

Bayesian analysis is a framework for parameter estimation that applies even in uncertainty regimes where the commonly used local (frequentist) analysis based on the Cramer-Rao bound is not well defined. In particular, it also  applies when no initial information about the parameter value is available, e.g., when few measurements are performed.

Quantum Contextuality: A Historical Perspective

Seminar date and time: 
2020-11-12 16:30
Author: 
Adan Cabello
Affiliation: 
Universidad de Sevilla

I will summarize the history of quantum contextuality starting with the discussion, in the late 1920’s, of whether quantum mechanics can be complemented by “hidden variables”, which eventually led to Bell’s and Kochen-Specker’s theorems, and ending with some recent developments such as the discovery that quantum theory is the most contextual theory for ideal measurements.
