We develop the resource theory of private randomness extraction in the distributed and device-dependent scenario. We begin by introducing the notion of independent random bits, which are bipartite states containing ideal private randomness…

Based on the physical projector approach, a nonpertubative quantization of the massless Schwinger model is considered which does not require any gauge fixing. The spectrum of physical states, readily identified following a diagonalization…

We present an account of the early developments that led to the present form of the flipped $SU(5)$ string model. We focus on the method used to decide on this particular string model, as well as the basic steps followed in constructing…

We propose a new string model by adding a higher-order gradient term to the rigid string, so that the stiffness can be positive or negative without loosing stability. In the large-D approximation, the model has three phases, one of which…

There is a natural orthogonal basis of the 6-qubit decoherence-free (DF) space robust against collective noise. Interestingly, most of the basis states can be obtained from one another just permuting qubits. This property: (a) is useful for…

Characterizing and understanding noise affecting quantum states has immense benefits in spectroscopy as well as in realizing quantum devices. Transverse relaxation times under a set of dynamical decoupling (DD) sequences with varying…

We show that the electroweak $Z-$string can be stabilized by the presence of bound states of a complex scalar field. We argue that fermions coupled to the scalar field of the string can also make the string stable and discuss the physical…

In this review I discuss some basic aspects of non-perturbative string theory. The topics include test of duality symmetries based on the analysis of the low energy effective action and the spectrum of BPS states, relationship between…

In this paper we view the sigma-model couplings of appropriate vertex operators describing the interaction of string matter with a certain type of string solitons (0-branes) as the quantum phase space of a point particle. The sigma-model is…

We study the spectrum of solvable string models on plane waves descending from non-conformal Dp-brane geometries. We mainly focus on S-dual F1/D1-waves in type IIB and type I/heterotic 10D superstrings. We derive the Kaluza-Klein spectrum…

We present a class of solvable models that resemble string theories in many respects but have a strikingly different non-perturbative sector. In particular, there are no exponentially small contributions to perturbation theory in the string…

Within recent years, the field of nano-mechanics has diversified in a variety of applications, ranging from quantum information processing to biological molecules recognition. Among the diversity of devices produced these days, the simplest…

We show that a qubit transfer protocol can be realized through a flat band hosted by a disordered $XX$ spin-1/2 diamond chain. In the absence of disorder, the transmission becomes impossible due to the compact localized states forming the…

The process of optical frequency doubling can lead, in the undepleted regime, to the generation of a X-wave envelope with group velocity locked to the pump beam. Its parameters and its angular spectrum, are directly related to the zero- and…

We show that the string spectrum in the pp-wave limit of AdS_5\times S^5/Z_M (orbifolded pp-wave) is reproduced from the N=2 quiver gauge theory by quantizing the Green-Schwarz string theory on the orbifolded pp-wave in light cone gauge. We…

Radiative nonlinear four-wave mixing can monitor the evolution of electronic wave packets, providing access to lifetimes and quantifies the light induced couplings between excited states. We report the observation of quantum beats in an…

We study permutation invariant training (PIT), which targets at the permutation ambiguity problem for speaker independent source separation models. We extend two state-of-the-art PIT strategies. First, we look at the two-stage speaker…

Confinement prohibits isolation of color charges, e.g., quarks, in nature via a process called string breaking: the separation of two charges results in an increase in the energy of a color flux, visualized as a string, connecting those…

String models are designed to provide a covariant description of internal space-time structure of relativistic particles. The string is a limiting case of a series of massive beads like a pearl necklace. In the limit of infinite-number of…
