Optimal performance of endoreversible quantum refrigerators (2014)
Journal Article
Correa, L. A., Palao, J. P., Adesso, G., & Alonso, D. (2014). Optimal performance of endoreversible quantum refrigerators. Physical Review E, 90(6), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.90.062124

The derivation of general performance benchmarks is important in the design of highly optimized heat engines and refrigerators. To obtain them, one may model phenomenologically the leading sources of irreversibility ending up with results that are mo...

No-activation theorem for Gaussian nonclassical correlations by Gaussian operations (2014)
Journal Article
Mišta, L., McNulty, D., & Adesso, G. (2014). No-activation theorem for Gaussian nonclassical correlations by Gaussian operations. Physical Review A, 90(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.90.022328

We study general quantum correlations of continuous variable Gaussian states and their interplay with entanglement. Specifically, we investigate the existence of a quantum protocol activating all nonclassical correlations between the subsystems of an...

Quantum metrology exploits quantum mechanical laws to improve the precision in estimating technologically relevant parameters such as phase, frequency, or magnetic fields. Probe states are usually tailored to the particular dynamics whose parameters... Read More about Quantum discord determines the interferometric power of quantum states.

Continuous-variable versus hybrid schemes for quantum teleportation of Gaussian states (2014)
Journal Article
Kogias, I., Ragy, S., & Adesso, G. (2014). Continuous-variable versus hybrid schemes for quantum teleportation of Gaussian states. Physical Review A, 89(5), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.89.052324

In this paper, we examine and compare two fundamentally different teleportation schemes: the well-known continuous-variable scheme of Vaidman, Braunstein, and Kimble (VBK) and a recently proposed hybrid scheme by Andersen and Ralph (AR). We analyze t... Read More about Continuous-variable versus hybrid schemes for quantum teleportation of Gaussian states.

Experimental entanglement activation from discord in a programmable quantum measurement (2014)
Journal Article

In quantum mechanics, observing is not a passive act. Consider a system of two quantum particles A and B: if a measurement apparatus M is used to make an observation on B, the overall state of the system AB will typically be altered. When this happen...
