Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDI-QKD), leaving the detection procedure to the third partner and thus being immune to all detector side-channel attacks, is very promising for the construction of high-security…
The Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) metric governs a fundamental duality: it quantifies both how precisely a parameter can be estimated (metrology) and how distinguishable two quantum states are (privacy). We exploit this duality to…
Current quantum computers suffer from noise that stems from interactions between the quantum system that constitutes the quantum device and its environment. These interactions can be suppressed through dynamical decoupling to reduce…
