Equivalence between positive partial transpose (PPT) entanglement and bound entanglement is a long-standing open problem in quantum information theory. Limited progress has been made so far, even on the seemingly simple case of the bound entanglement of Werner states. The primary challenge is to giv…

The investigation of many-body interactions holds significant importance for both quantum foundations and information. Hamiltonians coupling multiple particles at once, beyond other applications, can lead to faster entanglement generation, multiqubit gate implementation, and improved error correctio…

The quadrature coherence scale (QCS) is a recently introduced measure that was shown to be an efficient witness of nonclassicality. It takes a simple form for pure and Gaussian states, but a general expression for mixed states tends to be prohibitively unwieldy. In this paper we introduce a method f…

Quantum kernel methods have been actively examined from both theoretical and practical perspectives due to the potential of quantum advantage in machine learning tasks. Despite a provable advantage of fine-tuned quantum kernels for specific problems, widespread practical usage of quantum kernel meth…

The telecloning protocol distributes quantum states from a single sender to multiple receivers via a shared entangled state by exploiting the notions of teleportation and approximate cloning. We investigate the optimal telecloning fidelities obtained using both Gaussian and non-Gaussian shared resou…

Quantum illumination is a quantum sensing protocol primarily used for object detection, which aims to detect the presence of a target with low reflectivity in the free space using quantum light fields. Here we investigate a quantum illumination scheme using an entangled light source by performing no…

Quantum computers promise to solve problems that are intractable for classical computers, but qubits are vulnerable to many sources of error, limiting the depth of the circuits that can be reliably executed on today's quantum hardware. Quantum error correction has been proposed as a solution to this…

We investigate the generation of an entangled electron pair emerging from a system composed of two quantum dots attached to a superconductor Cooper-pair beam splitter. We take into account three processes: crossed Andreev reflection, cotunneling, and Coulomb interaction. Together, these processes pl…

We consider the impact of the unitary-averaging framework on single- and two-mode linear optical gates. We demonstrate that this allows a trade-off between the probability of success and gate fidelity, with perfect fidelity gates being achievable for a finite decrease in the probability of success, …

Matrix product states (MPSs) and matrix product operators (MPOs) have been proven to be a powerful tool to study quantum many-body systems but are restricted to moderately entangled states as the number of parameters scales exponentially with the entanglement entropy. While MPSs can efficiently find…

In a trapped-ion system, accurate thermometry of ions is crucial for precisely evaluating the system state and performing quantum operations. However, when the motional state of a single ion is far away from the ground state, the spatial dimensionality of the phonon state sharply increases. Then it …

The quantum switch, the canonical example of a process with indefinite causal order, has been claimed to provide various advantages over processes with definite causal orders for some particular tasks in the field of quantum metrology. In this work, we argue that some of these advantages in fact do …

Hamiltonian simulation is a major application of quantum computing, for example, enabling prediction of the properties of molecules.

In a recent paper [Das, Modak, and Bera, Phys. Rev. A 107, 042413 (2023)], Das et al. claim that Kirkwood-Dirac negativity is not required to achieve anomalous values of the quantum Fisher information encoded in postselected (filtered) particles. We argue that this claim is wrong. Further, we show t…
