One of the biggest challenges in experimental quantum information is to keep the fragile superposition state of a qubit alive. Long lifetimes can be achieved for material qubit carriers as memories, at least in principle, but not for…
Detecting structure in data is the first step to arrive at meaningful representations for systems. This is particularly challenging for dislocation networks evolving as a consequence of plastic deformation of crystalline systems. Our study…

We introduce a sequence of numerical tests that can determine the entanglement or separability of a state even when there is not enough information to completely determine its density matrix. Given partial information about the state in the…
A density operator of a bipartite quantum system is called robustly separable if it has a neighborhood of separable operators. Given a bipartite density matrix, its property to be robustly separable is reduced, using the continuous ensemble…
