Higher-order transformations acting on input quantum channels in an indefinite causal order, such as the quantum switch, cannot be described by quantum circuits using the same number of calls to the input channels. A natural question is…

Device-independent quantum secret sharing (DI-QSS) provides high security by eliminating the need to trust devices, yet its practical performance is limited by channel loss and noise. This work extends advantage distillation from two-party…

We report an experimental certification of indefinite causal order that relies only on the characterization of the operations of a single party. We do so in the semi-device-independent scenario with the fewest possible assumptions of…
