A secure quantum identification system combining a classical identification procedure and quantum key distribution is proposed. Each identification sequence is always used just once and new sequences are ``refuelled'' from a shared provably…

We consider the problem of entanglement detection in the presence of faulty, potentially malicious detectors. A common - and, as of yet, the only - approach to this problem is to perform a Bell test in order to identify nonlocality of the…
High-dimensional quantum key distribution (HDQKD) offers the possibility of high secure-key rate with high photon-information efficiency. We consider HDQKD based on the time-energy entanglement produced by spontaneous parametric…
Noisy quantum computers suffer from readout or measurement error. It is a classical bit-flip error due to which state "1" is read out as "0" and vice-versa. The probability of readout error shows a state dependence i.e., flipping…
In quantum mechanics, the precision achieved in parameter estimation using a quantum state as a probe is determined by the measurement strategy employed. The ultimate quantum limit of precision is bounded by a value set by the state and its…

Assessing whether a quantum state $\hat \rho$ is nonclassical ($\textit{i.e.}$, incompatible with a mixture of coherent states) is a ubiquitous question in quantum optics, yet a nontrivial experimental task because many nonclassicality…
Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is a quantum optics laboratory experiment that has recently become more accessible to undergraduate students. The experiment consists of two identical photons simultaneously entering a non-polarizing beam…
Bell inequalities were meant to test quantum mechanics vs local hidden variable models, but can also be used to verify entanglement. For entanglement verification purposes one assumes the validity of quantum mechanics as well as quantum…
