Measures and applications of quantum correlations (2016)
Journal Article
Adesso, G., Bromley, T. R., & Cianciaruso, M. (2016). Measures and applications of quantum correlations. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 49(47), https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/49/47/473001

Quantum information theory is built upon the realisation that quantum resources like coherence and entanglement can be exploited for novel or enhanced ways of transmitting and manipulating information, such as quantum cryptography, teleportation, and...

Practical quantum metrology in noisy environments (2016)
Journal Article
Nichols, R., Bromley, T. R., Correa, L. A., & Adesso, G. (2016). Practical quantum metrology in noisy environments. Physical Review A, 94(4), Article 042101. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.94.042101

The problem of estimating an unknown phase ϕ using two-level probes in the presence of unital phase-covariant noise and using finite resources is investigated. We introduce a simple model in which the phase-imprinting operation on the probes is reali... Read More about Practical quantum metrology in noisy environments.

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?.

Strong subadditivity for log-determinant of covariance matrices and its applications (2016)
Journal Article
Adesso, G., & Simon, R. (2016). Strong subadditivity for log-determinant of covariance matrices and its applications. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 49(34), Article 34LT02. https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8113/49/34/34LT02

We prove that the log-determinant of the covariance matrix obeys the strong subadditivity inequality for arbitrary tripartite states of multimode continuous variable quantum systems. This establishes general limitations on the distribution of informa... Read More about Strong subadditivity for log-determinant of covariance matrices and its applications.

Assisted distillation of quantum coherence (2016)
Journal Article
Chitambar, E., Streltsov, A., Rana, S., Bera, M. N., Adesso, G., & Lewenstein, M. (2016). Assisted distillation of quantum coherence. Physical Review Letters, 116(7), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.070402

We introduce and study the task of assisted coherence distillation. This task arises naturally in bipartite systems where both parties work together to generate the maximal possible coherence on one of the subsystems. Only incoherent operations are a...

Efficiency of inefficient endoreversible thermal machines (2016)
Journal Article
Palao, J. P., Correa, L. A., Adesso, G., & Alonso, D. (2016). Efficiency of inefficient endoreversible thermal machines. Brazilian Journal of Physics, 46(3), 282-287. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13538-015-0396-x

We present a study of the performance of endoreversible thermal machines optimized with respect to the thermodynamic force associated with the cold bath in the regime of small thermodynamic forces. These thermal machines can work either as an engine... Read More about Efficiency of inefficient endoreversible thermal machines.
