It continues to be alleged that superluminal influences of any sort would be inconsistent with special relativity for the following three reasons: (i) they would imply the existence of a distinguished' frame; (ii) they would allow the…
The resurgence of self-supervised learning, whereby a deep learning model generates its own supervisory signal from the data, promises a scalable way to tackle the dramatically increasing size of real-world data sets without human…
The superposition principle is fundamental to quantum theory. Yet a recent no-go theorem has proved that quantum theory forbids superposition of unknown quantum states, even with nonzero probability. The implications of this result,…
Faster than light communication might be possible using the collapse of the quantum wave-function without any accompanying paradoxes.
An explanation for superluminal phenomena based on wave-particle duality of photons is suggested. A single photon may be regarded as a wave packet, whose spatial extension is its coherence volume. As a photon propagates as a wave train in…
The celebrated quantum no-cloning theorem states that an arbitrary quantum state cannot be cloned perfectly. This raises questions about cloning of classical states, which have also attracted attention. Here, we present a physical approach…
The fact that first-person conscious perceptions or sentient experiences have many bits of information strongly suggests that they are produced nonlocally by the effects of many atoms, say by nonlocal quantum operators. If these nonlocal…
In continuous-variable tomography, with finite data and limited computation resources, reconstruction of a quantum state of light is performed on a finite-dimensional subspace. No systematic method was ever developed to assign such a…
No-signaling is a consequence of the no-communication theorem that states that bipartite systems cannot transfer information unless a communication channel exists. It is also a by-product of the assumptions of Bell theorem about quantum…
We discuss some properties of Lorentz invariant theories which allow for superluminal motion. We show that, if signals are always sent forward in time, closed curves along which signals propagate can be formed. This leads to problems with…
We construct a probabilistic quantum cloning machine by a general unitary-reduction operation. With a postselection of the measurement results, the machine yields faithful copies of the input states. It is shown that the states secretly…
Over the past decade quantum information theory has developed into a vigorous field of research despite the fact that quantum information, as a precise concept, is undefined. Indeed the very idea of viewing quantum states as carriers of…
We argue that the claim given in quant-ph/9801014 is untenable. The fallacy in the proof is a misinterpretation of the no-cloning theorem, which does not allow quantum jumps, specifically measurements.
A scheme for optimal Gaussian cloning of optical coherent states is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Its optical realization is based entirely on simple linear optical elements and homodyne detection. The optimality of the…
Universality of neural networks describes the ability to approximate arbitrary function, and is a key ingredient to keep the method effective. The established models for universal quantum neural networks(QNN), however, require the…
The impossibility of simultaneously cloning non-orthogonal states lies at the foundations of quantum theory. Even when allowing for approximation errors, cloning an arbitrary unknown pure state requires as many initial copies as needed to…
We consider the problem of deriving the no-signaling condition from the assumption that, as seen from a complexity theoretic perspective, the universe is not an exponential place. A fact that disallows such a derivation is the existence of…
No-cloning theorem is fundamental for quantum mechanics and for quantum information science that states an unknown quantum state cannot be cloned perfectly. However, we can try to clone a quantum state approximately with the optimal…
Einstein`s equivalence principle states the complete physical equivalence of a gravitational field and corresponding inertial field in an accelerated reference frame. However, to what extent the equivalence principle remains valid in…
The superposition of states is one of the most fundamental issues in the quantum world. Generally there do not exist physical operations to superpose two unknown random states with nonzero probability. We investigate the superposition…
