Repeated measurements on a part of a bipartite system strongly affect the other part not measured, whose dynamics is regulated by an effective contracted evolution operator. When the spectrum of this operator is discrete, the latter system…

We consider entanglement distillation from a single-copy of a multipartite state, and instead of rates we analyze the "quality" of the distilled entanglement. This "quality" is quantified by the fidelity with the GHZ-state. We show that…

Quantum entanglement is an important resource for next-generation technologies. We show that diffracting systems can supplant beam splitters, and more generally interferometric networks, for entanglement generation -- systems as simple as…
Particle decays do not constitute a spin ``measurement'' in the quantum-mechanical sense, but still modify the spin state, in particular for an entangled system. We show that for a spin-entangled pair of particles the entanglement of the…
We propose a quantum repeater protocol and architecture that mitigates decoherence of the entangled states by optimizing the quantum memory buffer time. The protocol maximizes the rate of distillable entanglement in the average accessed…
The notion of distillable entanglement is one of the fundamental concepts of quantum information theory. Unfortunately, there is an apparent mismatch between the intuitive and rigorous definitions of distillable entanglement. To be precise,…
We investigate to what extent a suitably chosen system Hamiltonian can counteract local dissipative processes and preserve entanglement in the stationary state. The results determine prospects and limitations of dissipative state…
In quantum mechanics, observing is not a passive act. Consider a system of two quantum particles A and B: if a measurement apparatus M is used to make an observation on B, the overall state of the system AB will typically be altered. When…
Quantum coherence in a qubit is vulnerable to environmental noise. When long quantum calculation is run on a quantum processor without error correction, the noise often causes fatal errors and messes up the calculation. Here, we propose…
