Testing the validity of the ‘local’ and ‘global’ GKLS master equations on an exactly solvable model (2017)
Journal Article

When deriving a master equation for a multipartite weakly-interacting open quantum systems, dissipation is often addressed locally on each component, i.e. ignoring the coherent couplings, which are later added ‘by hand’. Although simple, the resultin... Read More about Testing the validity of the ‘local’ and ‘global’ GKLS master equations on an exactly solvable model.

Colloquium: quantum coherence as a resource (2017)
Journal Article

The coherent superposition of states, in combination with the quantization of observables, represents one of the most fundamental features that mark the departure of quantum mechanics from the classical realm. Quantum coherence in many-body systems e... Read More about Colloquium: quantum coherence as a resource.

Investigating Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering of continuous-variable bipartite states by non-Gaussian pseudospin measurements (2017)
Journal Article

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is an asymmetric form of correlations which is intermediate between quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality, and can be exploited as a resource for quantum communication with one untrusted party. In particular... Read More about Investigating Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering of continuous-variable bipartite states by non-Gaussian pseudospin measurements.

Optimal continuous variable quantum teleportation with limited resources (2017)
Journal Article

Given a certain amount of entanglement available as a resource, what is the most efficient way to accomplish a quantum task? We address this question in the relevant case of continuous variable quantum teleportation protocols implemented using two-mo...

Optimal secure quantum teleportation of coherent states of light (2017)
Conference Proceeding

We investigate quantum teleportation of ensembles of coherent states of light with a Gaussian distributed displacement in phase space. Recently, the following general question has been addressed in [P. Liuzzo-Scorpo et al., arXiv:1705.03017]: Given a...

From log-determinant inequalities to Gaussian entanglement via recoverability theory (2017)
Journal Article

Many determinantal inequalities for positive definite block matrices are consequences of general entropy inequalities, specialised to Gaussian distributed vectors with prescribed covariances. In particular, strong subadditivity (SSA) yields ln det VA... Read More about From log-determinant inequalities to Gaussian entanglement via recoverability theory.

Connecting measurement invasiveness to optimal metrological scenarios (2017)
Journal Article

The connection between the Leggett-Garg inequality and optimal scenarios from the point of view of quantum metrology is investigated for perfect and noisy general dichotomic measurements. In this context, we show that the Fisher information can be ex... Read More about Connecting measurement invasiveness to optimal metrological scenarios.

Role of non-Markovianity and backflow of information in the speed of quantum evolution (2017)
Journal Article

We consider a two-level open quantum system undergoing pure dephasing, dissipative, or multiply decohering dynamics and show that whenever the dynamics is non-Markovian, the initial speed of evolution is a monotonic function of the relevant physical...

Versatile Gaussian probes for squeezing estimation (2017)
Journal Article

We consider an instance of “black-box” quantum metrology in the Gaussian framework, where we aim to estimate the amount of squeezing applied on an input probe, without previous knowledge on the phase of the applied squeezing. By taking the quantum Fi... Read More about Versatile Gaussian probes for squeezing estimation.

There is more to quantum interferometry than entanglement (2017)
Journal Article

Entanglement has long stood as one of the characteristic features of quantum mechanics, yet recent developments have emphasized the importance of quantumness beyond entanglement for quantum foundations and technologies. We demonstrate that entangleme... Read More about There is more to quantum interferometry than entanglement.

Non-Markovianity hierarchy of Gaussian processes and quantum amplification (2017)
Journal Article

We investigate the dynamics of Gaussian states of continuous variable systems under Gaussianity-preserving channels.

We address the quantum estimation of the diamagnetic, or A 2, term in an effective model of light–matter interaction featuring two coupled oscillators.

Unconditional security of entanglement-based continuous-variable quantum secret sharing (2017)
Journal Article

The need for secrecy and security is essential in communication. Secret sharing is a conventional protocol to distribute a secret message to a group of parties, who cannot access it individually but need to cooperate in order to decode it. While seve...
