Abstract

Quantum correlations in both space and time1,2 allow a clear advantage over classical approaches: we discuss our recent results in engineering correlations for simulating quantum chemistry3, emulating quantum materials4, and performing semi-device-independent QKD5.

Quantum correlations in prepare-and-measure scenarios and their semi-device-independent applications

Jonatan Bohr Brask, Nicolas Brunner, Jef Pauwels +2 more

A key aspect in quantum information is to understand the advantage offered by quantum systems over classical ones in communication tasks. In recent years, a fundamental approach to this problem has been developed, focusing on quantum correlations in prepare-and-measure scenarios. Inspired by the developments in Bell nonlocality and device-independent information processing, this line of research aims to characterize the possibilities and limits of quantum systems for communication, in particular to precisely capture the advantage they offer over classical systems. In addition to fundamental insights, these ideas also underpin the concept of semi-device-independent quantum information processing. Exploring trade-offs between security, performance and ease-of-implementation, this approach opens promising directions for novel quantum information processing technologies and devices. A number of protocols and proof-of-principle demonstrations have been reported in recent years, in particular for quantum randomness certification and key distribution. Here, we provide a comprehensive introduction to quantum prepare-and-measure correlations and semi-device independent applications.

Semi-Device-Independent Framework Based on Restricted Distrust in Prepare-and-Measure Experiments

Armin Tavakoli

A semi-device-independent framework for prepare-and-measure experiments is introduced in which an experimenter can tune the degree of distrust in the performance of the quantum devices. In this framework, a receiver operates an uncharacterized measurement device and a sender operates a preparation device that emits states with a bounded fidelity with respect to a set of target states. No assumption on Hilbert space dimension is required. The set of quantum correlations is investigated and bounded from both the interior and the exterior. Furthermore, the optimal performance of quantum state discrimination with bounded distrust is derived and applied to certification of detection efficiency. Quantum-over-classical advantages are demonstrated and the magnitude of distrust compatible with such advantages is explored. Finally, efficient schemes for semi-device-independent random number generation are developed.

Detection loophole attacks on semi-device-independent quantum and classical protocols

Michele Dall’Arno, Elsa Passaro, Rodrigo Gallego +2 more

Semi-device-independent quantum protocols realize information tasks -- e.g. secure key distribution, random access coding, and randomness generation -- in a scenario where no assumption on the internal working of the devices used in the protocol is made, except their dimension. These protocols offer two main advantages: first, their implementation is often less demanding than fully-device-independent protocols. Second, they are more secure than their device-dependent counterparts. Their classical analogous is represented by random access codes, which provide a general framework for describing one-sided classical communication tasks. We discuss conditions under which detection inefficiencies can be exploited by a malicious provider to fake the performance of semi-device-independent quantum and classical protocols -- and how to prevent it.
