Abstract

Quantum correlations in both space and time allow a clear advantage over classical approaches: we discuss our recent results in engineering correlations for emulating topological phases of matter, simulating quantum chemistry, and performing semi-device-independent QKD. Article not available.

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 Efficiency Bounds in (Semi-)Device-Independent Scenarios

Tailan S. Sarubi, Santiago Zamora, Moisés Alves +3 more

This article provides a comprehensive review of the critical role of detection efficiency in demonstrating non-classicality across various device-independent and semi-device-independent scenarios. The central focus is the detection loophole, a challenge in which imperfect detectors can allow classical hidden variable models to mimic quantum correlations, thus masking genuine non-classicality. As a review, the article revisits the paradigmatic Bell scenario, detailing the efficiency requirements for the CHSH inequality, such as the 2/3 threshold for symmetric efficiencies, and traces the historical trajectory toward the first loophole-free tests. The analysis extends to other causal structures to explore how efficiency requirements are affected in different contexts. These include the instrumental scenario, which for binary variables has recently been shown to follow the same inefficiency bounds as the bipartite dichotomic Bell scenario; the prepare-and-measure scenario, where inefficiencies impact the certification of a quantum system's dimension and create security breaches in protocols such as Quantum Key Distribution (QKD); and the bilocality scenario, which exemplifies how employing multiple independent sources can significantly relax the required efficiencies to certify non-classical correlations.
