Learning physical properties of high-dimensional states is crucial for developing quantum technologies but usually consumes an exceedingly large number of samples which are difficult to afford in practice. In this Letter, we use the methodology of quantum metrology to tackle this difficulty, proposi…

Quantum optical systems are typically affected by two types of noise: photon loss and dephasing. Despite extensive research on each noise process individually, a comprehensive understanding of their combined effect is still lacking. A crucial problem lies in determining the values of loss and dephas…

Dissipative quantum systems can under appropriate conditions exhibit bi- or multipartite entanglement at the steady state. The presence and properties of these quantum correlations depend on the relevant model parameters. Here, we characterize the steady-state entanglement in connection with the spa…

From both intuitive and physical perspectives, it is generally recognized that within a resource theory framework, free operations cannot broadcast a resource state due to their inability to generate resource from free states. In the stabilizer formalism of fault-tolerant quantum computation, the ba…

Markovian open many-body quantum systems display complicated relaxation dynamics. The spectral gap of the Liouvillian characterizes the asymptotic decay rate towards the stationary state, but it has recently been pointed out that the spectral gap does not necessarily determine the overall relaxation…

We study entanglement degradation when one share of an entangled pair experiences noise. We consider the dissipative Landau-Zener model for describing local noise. The dissipative Landau-Zener model provides a convenient setting for modeling entanglement degradation with applications in quantum netw…

Cluster states are the essential resource used in the implementation of fusion-based quantum computation (FBQC). We introduce a method to generate high-fidelity optical cluster states by utilizing the concept of unitary averaging. This error-averaging technique is entirely passive and can be readily…

Quantum broadcasting is central to quantum information processing and characterizes the correlations within quantum states. Nonetheless, traditional quantum broadcasting encounters inherent limitations dictated by the principles of quantum mechanics. In a previous study, Parzygnat et al. [Phys. Rev.…

A stable and high-quality single-magnon state is desired by the single-magnon source for quantum-information application with a macroscopic spin system. We consider a hybrid system where a magnon mode is directly coupled to a nonresonant superconducting qubit via the exchange interaction. The magnon…

Despite multipartite entanglement being a global property of a quantum state, a number of recent works have made it clear that it can be quantified using only local measurements. This is appealing because local measurements are the easiest to implement on current quantum hardware. However, it remain…

We compare critical quantum sensing to passive quantum strategies to perform frequency estimation, in the case of single-mode quadratic Hamiltonians. We show that, while in the unitary case both strategies achieve precision scaling quadratic with the number of photons, in the presence of dissipation…

Twin-field (TF) quantum key distribution (QKD) has been extensively researched because of its long transmission distance. The phase-encoding TF-QKD can realize both a high key rate and a long transmission distance, so it has attracted a lot of attention. In this article, we are inspired by the sendi…

We obtain a Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad-like master equation for two or more quantum systems connected locally to a combination of Markovian and non-Markovian heat baths. The master equation was originally formulated for multiparty systems with either exclusively Markovian or non-Markovian…
