Quantum communication schemes widely use dielectric four-port devices as basic elements for constructing optical quantum channels. Since for causality reasons the permittivity is necessarily a complex function of frequency, dielectrics are…
Entanglement serves as a fundamental resource for various quantum information processing tasks. Fidelity of entanglement (which measures the proximity to a maximally entangled state) and various quantum entropies are key indicators for…
We develop the theory of quantum (a.k.a. noncommutative) relations and quantum (a.k.a. noncommutative) graphs in the finite-dimensional covariant setting, where all systems (finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras) carry an action of a compact…
In a unital C*-algebra with a faithful trace functional $\tau$, the set $D_\tau(A)$ of positive $\rho\in A$ of trace \tau(\rho)=1 is an algebraic analogue of the space of density matrices (the set of all positive matrices of a fixed…
We investigate entanglement transmission over an unknown channel in the presence of a third party (called the adversary), which is enabled to choose the channel from a given set of memoryless but non-stationary channels without informing…
Sharing entanglement across quantum interconnects is fundamental for quantum information processing. We discuss a practical setting where this interconnect, modeled by a quantum channel, is used once with the aim of sharing high fidelity…
Quantum entanglements, describing truly quantum couplings, are stu died and classified from the point of view of quantum compound states. We show that c lassical-quantum correspondences such as quantum encodings can be treated as…
Entanglement in quantum many-body systems is typically fragile to interactions with the environment. Generic unital quantum channels, for example, have the maximally mixed state with no entanglement as their unique steady state. However, we…
Sequences of commuting quantum operators can be parallelized using entanglement. This transformation is behind some optimal quantum metrology protocols and recent results on quantum circuit complexity. We show that dephasing quantum maps in…
We derive an upper bound on the action of a direct product of two quantum maps (channels) acting on multi-partite quantum states. We assume that the individual channels $\Lambda_j$ affect single-particle states so, that for an arbitrary…
The Glauber-Sudarshan diagonal `weight' function provides a natural divide between the quantum-optical notion of classical and nonclassical states of continuous variables systems. Based on this demarcation, a channel is said to be…
We describe a general approach to proving the impossibility of implementing a quantum channel by local operations and classical communication (LOCC), even with an infinite number of rounds, and find that this can often be demonstrated by…
The coding theorem for the entanglement-assisted communication via infinite-dimensional quantum channel with linear constraint is extended to a natural degree of generality. Relations between the entanglement-assisted classical capacity and…
We discuss the concept of how entanglement changes with respect to different factorizations of the total algebra which describes the quantum states. Depending on the considered factorization a quantum state appears either entangled or…
Alice, Bob, and Eve share a pure quantum state. We introduce the notion of state degradability by asking whether the joint density of Alice and Eve can be transformed to the joint density of Alice and Bob by processing Eve's part through a…
We establish an operator algebra generalization of Watrous' theorem \cite{watrous2009} on mixing unital quantum channels (completely positive trace-preserving maps) with the completely depolarizing channel, wherein the more general objects…
We develop a notion of quantum channels that can make states useless for universal quantum computation by destroying their magic (non-stabilizerness) - we refer to them as magic-breaking channels. We establish the properties of these…
Suppose one wants to certify that a quantum channel is not entanglement-breaking. I consider all four combinations of trusted and untrusted devices at the input and output of the channel, finding that the most interesting is a trusted…
We present a general scheme that allows for construction of scalar separability criteria from positive but not completely positive maps. The concept is based on a decomposition of every positive map $\Lambda$ into a difference of two…
For a positive integer $k$, the rank-$k$ numerical range $\Lambda_k(A)$ of an operator $A$ acting on a Hilbert space $\cH$ of dimension at least $k$ is the set of scalars $\lambda$ such that $PAP = \lambda P$ for some rank $k$ orthogonal…
