We derive fundamental constraints for the Schur complement of positive matrices, which provide an operator strengthening to recently established information inequalities for quantum covariance matrices, including strong subadditivity. This allows us... Read More about Schur complement inequalities for covariance matrices and monogamy of quantum correlations.

The ability to live in coherent superpositions is a signature trait of quantum systems and constitutes an irreplaceable resource for quantum-enhanced technologies. However, decoherence effects usually destroy quantum superpositions. It has been recen... Read More about Observation of time-invariant coherence in a nuclear magnetic resonance quantum simulator.

Should entanglement measures be monogamous or faithful? (2016)
Journal Article
Lancien, C., Di Martino, S., Huber, M., Piani, M., Adesso, G., & Winter, A. (2016). Should entanglement measures be monogamous or faithful?. Physical Review Letters, 117, Article 060501. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.117.060501

“Is entanglement monogamous?” asks the title of a popular article [B. Terhal, IBM J. Res. Dev. 48, 71 (2004)], celebrating C. H. Bennett’s legacy on quantum information theory. While the answer is affirmative in the qualitative sense, the situation i... Read More about Should entanglement measures be monogamous or faithful?.
