Quantifying non-classicality via Local Operations and Shared Randomness

Speaker: Ana Belen Sainz (University of Gdansk) Abstract In this talk I will motivate Local Operations and Shared Randomness (LOSR) as a paradigm to quantify non-classical resources, in contrast to Local Operations and Classical Communication (LOCC). I will provide examples of the resource-theoretic study of entanglement, Bell non-classicality, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering, that stems from this […]

Speaker: Marcin Markiewicz Abstract In this talk I will present a brief summary of my habilitation works concerning four aspects of nonclassicality: quantum entanglement, indistinguishability of quantum particles, Bell nonclassicality and contextuality.

Speaker:  Katarzyna Roszak (Institute of Physics, Czech Academy of Sciences) Abstract We provide a proof that entanglement of any density matrix which block diagonal in subspaces which are disjoint in terms of the Hilbert space of one of the two potentially entangled subsystems can simply be calculated as the weighted average of entanglement present within […]

Speaker: Kai Sheng Lee Abstract Quantum mechanics is at its hearts the study of nature at the fundamental level of atoms and subatomic particles. Made up of these same atoms and subatomic particles, biological systems are also expected to follow quantum mechanics to some extent. The most well-known example (and still debated) is in magnetoreception, […]

Speaker: Julio de Vicente (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) Abstract The study of entanglement and nonlocality in multipartite quantum states plays a major role in quantum information theory and genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) and nonlocality (GMNL) signal some of its strongest forms for applications. However, their characterization for general (mixed) states is a highly nontrivial […]

Speaker: Flaminia Giacomini Abstract In physics, observations are typically made with respect to a frame of reference. Although reference frames are usually not considered as degrees of freedom, in practical situations it is a physical system that constitutes a reference frame. Can a quantum system be considered as a reference frame and, if so, which […]

Speaker: Piotr Kopszak Abstract Port-based teleportation (PBT) is a quantum teleportation protocol, in which the parties exploit joint measurements performed on $N$ shared $d$-dimensional maximally entangled pairs (the resource) and the state to be teleported, with the addition of the one-way classical communication. The lack of correction in the last step is an essential feature […]

Speaker:  Marcin Markiewicz ( University of Gdańsk ) Abstract Recently there appeared many works on modified Wigner's Friend paradoxes, which suggest that quantum theory cannot consistently describe the scenario with many observers. In this presentation I will show an alternative approach to this problem, which indicates that the paradoxes are in fact apparent, and the […]

Speaker: Jordan Cotler (Harvard University) Abstract We introduce a theoretical framework to study experimental physics using quantum complexity theory. This allows us to address: what is the computational complexity of an experiment? For several 'model' experiments, we prove that there is an exponential savings in resources if the experimentalist can entangle apparatuses with experimental samples. […]
