Quantum-enhanced measurements without entanglement (2018)
Journal Article
Braun, D., Adesso, G., Benatti, F., Floreanini, R., Marzolino, U., Mitchell, M. W., & Pirandola, S. (2018). Quantum-enhanced measurements without entanglement. Reviews of Modern Physics, 90(3), Article 035006. https://doi.org/10.1103/revmodphys.90.035006

Quantum-enhanced measurements exploit quantum mechanical effects for increasing the sensitivity of measurements of certain physical parameters and have great potential for both fundamental science and concrete applications. Most of the research has s... Read More about Quantum-enhanced measurements without entanglement.

Gaussian quantum resource theories (2018)
Journal Article
Lami, L., Regula, B., Wang, X., Nichols, R., Winter, A., & Adesso, G. (2018). Gaussian quantum resource theories. Physical Review A, 98(2), https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.98.022335

We develop a general framework to assess capabilities and limitations of the Gaussian toolbox in continuous-variable quantum information theory. Our framework allows us to characterize the structure and properties of quantum resource theories special... Read More about Gaussian quantum resource theories.

Individual preventive social distancing during an epidemic may have negative population-level outcomes (2018)
Journal Article
Leung, K. Y., Ball, F., Sirl, D., & Britton, T. (2018). Individual preventive social distancing during an epidemic may have negative population-level outcomes. Interface, 15, doi:10.1098/rsif.2018.0296. ISSN 1742-5662

The outbreak of an infectious disease in a human population can lead to individuals responding with preventive measures in an attempt to avoid getting infected. This leads to changes in contact patterns. However, as we show in this paper, rational be...

Total photoionization cross section of planar helium: scaling laws and collision orbits (2018)
Journal Article
Lee, M., Byun, C. W., Choi, N. N., & Tanner, G. (2018). Total photoionization cross section of planar helium: scaling laws and collision orbits. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 51(18), Article 185001. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6455/aad8e2

The total photoionization cross section of planar helium has been calculated up to the single ionization threshold I22 of triple P states. The cross section shows chaotic fluctuations as the energy E approaches the double ionization threshold E=0. By...

Developments in industrial applications motivate improvements in fluid lubricated bearing technology, enabling smaller face clearances and increased rotation rates. Associated film lubrication technology aims to improve efficiency and reliability. A... Read More about Effect of uncertainty in external forcing on a fluid lubricated bearing.

Probabilistic distillation of quantum coherence (2018)
Journal Article
Fang, K., Wang, X., Lami, L., Regula, B., & Adesso, G. (2018). Probabilistic distillation of quantum coherence. Physical Review Letters, 121(7), doi:10.1103/physrevlett.121.070404. ISSN 0031-9007

The ability to distill quantum coherence is pivotal for optimizing the performance of quantum technologies; however, such a task cannot always be accomplished with certainty. Here we develop a general framework of probabilistic distillation of quantu... Read More about Probabilistic distillation of quantum coherence.

Scattering approach to Anderson localization (2018)
Journal Article
Ossipov, A. (2018). Scattering approach to Anderson localization. Physical Review Letters, 121(7), doi:10.1103/physrevlett.121.076601. ISSN 0031-9007

We develop a novel approach to the Anderson localization problem in a d-dimensional disordered sample of dimension L×Md−1. Attaching a perfect lead with the cross section Md−1 to one side of the sample, we derive evolution equations for the scatterin... Read More about Scattering approach to Anderson localization.

Noisy frequency estimation with noisy probes (2018)
Journal Article
Górecka, A., Pollock, F. A., Liuzzo-Scorpo, P., Nichols, R., Adesso, G., & Modi, K. (2018). Noisy frequency estimation with noisy probes. New Journal of Physics, 20(8), Article 083008. https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/aad4e5

We consider frequency estimation in a noisy environment with noisy probes. This builds on previous studies, most of which assume that the initial probe state is pure, while the encoding process is noisy, or that the initial probe state is mixed, whil...
