Optimal performance of endoreversible quantum refrigerators (2014)
Journal Article

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...

Certifying quantumness: benchmarks for the optimal processing of generalized coherent and squeezed states (2014)
Journal Article

Quantum technology promises revolutionary advantages in information processing and transmission compared to classical technology; however, determining which specific resources are needed to surpass the capabilities of classical machines often remains...

No-activation theorem for Gaussian nonclassical correlations by Gaussian operations (2014)
Journal Article

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...

Gaussian interferometric power (2014)
Journal Article

The interferometric power of a bipartite quantum state quantifies the precision, measured by quantum Fisher information, that such a state enables for the estimation of a parameter embedded in a unitary dynamics applied to one subsystem only, in the...

Quantum discord determines the interferometric power of quantum states (2014)
Journal Article

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

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.

Relativistic Quantum Metrology: Exploiting relativity to improve quantum measurement technologies (2014)
Journal Article

We present a framework for relativistic quantum metrology that is useful for both Earth-based and space-based technologies. Quantum metrology has been so far successfully applied to design precision instruments such as clocks and sensors which outper...

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...

Quantum-enhanced absorption refrigerators (2014)
Journal Article

Thermodynamics is a branch of science blessed by an unparalleled combination of generality of scope and formal simplicity. Based on few natural assumptions together with the four laws, it sets the boundaries between possible and impossible in macrosc... Read More about Quantum-enhanced absorption refrigerators.

Quantum benchmarks for pure single-mode Gaussian states (2014)
Journal Article

Teleportation and storage of continuous variable states of light and atoms are essential building blocks for the realization of large-scale quantum networks. Rigorous validation of these implementations require identifying, and surpassing, benchmarks... Read More about Quantum benchmarks for pure single-mode Gaussian states.

Theory of genuine tripartite nonlocality of Gaussian states (2014)
Journal Article

We investigate the genuine multipartite nonlocality of three-mode Gaussian states of continuous variable systems. For pure states, we present a simplified procedure to obtain the maximum violation of the Svetlichny inequality based on displaced parit...
