    - PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS - Year 2011

    We devise a protocol in which general nonclassical multipartite correlations produce a physically relevant effect, leading to the creation of bipartite entanglement. In particular, we show that the relative entropy of quantumness, which measures all nonclassical correlations among subsystems of a quantum system, is equivalent to and can be operationally interpreted as the minimum distillable entanglement generated between the system...

  • Collective Uncertainty Entanglement Test
    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS - Year 2011

    For a given pure state of a composite quantum system we analyze the product of its projections onto aset of locally orthogonal separable pure states. We derive a bound for this product analogous to theentropic uncertainty relations. For bipartite systems the bound is saturated for maximally entangled statesand it allows us to construct a family of entanglement measures, we shall call collectibility. As thesequantities are experimentally...

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS - Year 2011

    We report experimental generation of a noisy entangled four-photon state that exhibits a separation between the secure key contents and distillable entanglement, a hallmark feature of the recently established quantum theory of private states. The privacy analysis, based on the full tomographic reconstruction of the prepared state, is utilized in a proof-of-principle key generation. The inferiority of distillation-based strategies...

  • Postulates for measures of genuine multipartite correlations
    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Year 2011

    A lot of research has been done on multipartite correlations. However, it seems strange thatthere is no denition of so called genuine multipartite correlations. In this paper we propose threereasonable postulates which each measure or indicator of genuine multipartite correlations (or gen-uine multipartite entanglement) should satisfy. We also introduce degree of correlations which givespartial characterization of multipartite...

  • A few steps more towards NPT bound entanglement
    Publication

    - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY - Year 2010

    In this paper, existence of bound entangled states with nonpositive partial transpose (NPT) is considered. As one knows, existence of such states would in particular imply nonadditivity of distillable entanglement. Moreover, it would rule out a simple mathematical description of the set of distillable states. The particular state, known to be 1-copy nondistillable and supposed to be bound entangled, is considered. The problem of...

  • Are quantum correlations symmetric?
    Publication

    - QUANTUM INFORMATION & COMPUTATION - Year 2010

    We provide operational definition of symmetry of entanglement: An entangled state contains symmetric entanglement if its subsystems can be exchanged (swapped) by means of local operations and classical communication. We show that in general states have asymmetric entanglement. This allows to construct nonsymmetric measure of entanglement, and a parameter that reports asymmetry of entanglement contents of quantum state. We propose...

  • Aspects of multistation quantum information broadcasting
    Publication

    We study quantum information transmission over multiparty quantum channel. In particular, we show an equivalence of different capacity notions and provide a multiletter characterization of a capacity region for a general quantum channel with k senders and m receivers. We point out natural generalizations to the case of two-way classical communication capacity. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Efficient bounds on quantum-communication rates via their reduced variants
    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Year 2010

    We investigate one-way communication scenarios where Bob operating on his component can transfer some subsystem to the environment. We define reduced versions of quantum-communication rates and, further, prove upper bounds on a one-way quantum secret key, distillable entanglement, and quantum-channel capacity by means of their reduced versions. It is shown that in some cases they drastically improve their estimation.

  • Nonadditivity of quantum and classical capacities for entanglement breaking multiple-access channels and the butterfly network
    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Year 2010

    We analyze quantum network primitives which are entanglement breaking. We show superadditivity of quantum and classical capacity regions for quantum multiple-access channels and the quantum butterfly network. Since the effects are especially visible at high noise they suggest that quantum information effects may be particularly helpful in the case of the networks with occasional high noise rates. The present effects provide a qualitative...

  • On thermal stability of topological qubit in Kitaev's 4D model
    Publication

    - OPEN SYSTEMS & INFORMATION DYNAMICS - Year 2010

    We analyse stability of the four-dimensional Kitaev model-a candidate for scalable quantum memory - in finite temperature within the weak coupling Markovian limit. It is shown that, below a critical temperature, certain topological qubit observables X and Z possess relaxation times exponentially long in the size of the system. Their construction involves polynomial in system size algorithm which uses as an input the results of...

  • Quantum superadditivity in linear optics networks: Sending bits via multiple-access Gaussian channels
    Publication

    Superadditivity effects of communication capacities are known in the case of discrete variable quantum channels. We describe the continuous variable analog of one of these effects in the framework of Gaussian multiple access channels (MACs). Classically, superadditivity-type effects are strongly restricted: For example, adding resources to one sender is never advantageous to other senders in sending their respective information...

  • Sudden death of effective entanglement
    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Year 2010

    Sudden death of entanglement is a well-known effect resulting from the finite volume of separable states. We study the case when the observer has a limited measurement capability and analyze the effective entanglement (i.e., entanglement minimized over the output data). We show that in the well-defined system of two quantum dots monitored by single-electron transistors, one may observe a sudden death of effective entanglement when...

  • A simple test for quantum channel capacity
    Publication

    Based on state and channel isomorphism we point out that semidefiniteprogramming can be used as a quick test for nonzero one-way quantum channelcapacity. This can be achieved by searching for symmetric extensions of statesisomorphic to a given quantum channel. With this method we provide examplesof quantum channels that can lead to high entanglement transmission but stillhave zero one-way capacity, in particular, regions of symmetric...

  • Broadcast copies reveal the quantumness of correlations
    Publication

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Year 2009

    We study the quantumness of bipartite correlations by proposing a quantity that combines a measure of total correlations-mutual information-with the notion of broadcast copies-i.e., generally nonfactorized copies-of bipartite states. By analyzing how our quantity increases with the number of broadcast copies, we are able to classify classical, separable, and entangled states. This motivates the definition of the broadcast regularization...

  • General paradigm for distilling classical key from quantum states

    - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY - Year 2009

    In this paper, we develop a formalism for distilling aclassical key from a quantum state in a systematic way, expandingon our previous work on a secure key from bound entanglement(Horodecki et al., 2005). More detailed proofs, discussion, andexamples are provided of the main results. Namely, we demonstratethat all quantum cryptographic protocols can be recast in away which looks like entanglement theory, with the only changebeing...

    Inseparability criteria for continuous and discrete bipartite quantum states based on moments of annihilationand creation operators are studied by developing the idea of Shchukin-Vogel criterion Phys. Rev. Lett. 95,230502 2005. If a state is separable, then the corresponding matrix of moments is separable too. Thus, wederive generalized criteria based on the separability properties of the matrix of moments. In particular, acriterion...

  • Multipartite secret key distillation and bound entanglement

    Recently it has been shown that quantum cryptography beyond pure entanglement distillation is possible and a paradigm for the associated protocols has been established. Here we systematically generalize the whole paradigm to the multipartite scenario. We provide constructions of new classes of multipartite bound entangled states, i.e., those with underlying twisted Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) structure and nonzero distillable...

  • Purely quantum superadditivity of classical capacities of quantum multiple access channels
    Publication

    We are studying classical capacities of quantum memoryless multiaccess channels in geometric terms and we are revealing a break of additivity of the Holevo-like capacity. This effect is a purely quantum mechanical one, since, as we point out, the capacity regions of all classical memoryless multiaccess channels are additive. It is the first such effect revealed in the field of classical information transmission via quantum channels.

    All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say that what is predicted by quantum formalism must occur in the laboratory. But the essence of quantum formalism-entanglement, recognized by Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen, and Schrödinger-waited over 70 years to enter laboratories as a new resource as real as energy. This holistic property of compound quantum systems, which involves nonclassical correlations between...

  • Beyond the standard entropic inequalities: stronger scalar separability criteria and their applications

    Niedawno pokazano, że jeżeli dwupodukładowy stan kwantowy spełnia strukturalne kryterium separowalności oparte na pewnym liniowym odwzorowaniu dodatnim (tzw. odwzorowanie redukcyjne) to musi także spełniać skalarne kryterium separowalności oparte na nierównościach entropijnych. Ponieważ nierówności te są obiecującymi z eksperymentalnego punktu widzenia detektorami splątania w układach kwantowych, interesującym wydaje się pytanie...

    We establish a framework to study the classical-communication properties of primitive local operations assisted by classical communication which realize various redistributions of entanglement, like, e.g., entanglement swapping. On the one hand, we analyze what local operations and how much classical communication are needed to perform them. On the other hand, we investigate whether and to what extent such primitives can help to...

    We pose the fundamental question of communication properties of primitives irrespectively of their implementation. To illustrate the idea we introduce the concept of entanglement-swapping boxes, i.e., we consider any quantum operations which perform entanglement swapping, not necessarily via simple quantum teleportation. We ask a question about the properties of such boxes, i.e., what local operations and how much classical communication...

  • Low-dimensional bound entanglement with one-way distillable cryptographic key
    Publication

    - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY - Year 2008

    In this paper, we provide a class of bound entangled states that have positive distillable secure key rate. The smallest state of this kind is 4 circle times 4, which shows that peculiar security contained in bound entangled states does not need high-dimensional systems. We show that for these states a positive key rate can be obtained by one-way Devetak-Winter (DW) protocol. Subsequently, the volume of bound entangled key-distillable...

  • No-local-broadcasting theorem for multipartite quantum correlations
    Publication

    We prove that the correlations present in a multipartite quantum state have an operational quantum character even if the state is unentangled, as long as it does not simply encode a multipartite classical probability distribution. Said quantumness is revealed by the new task of local broadcasting, i.e., of locally sharing preestablished correlations, which is feasible if and only if correlations are stricly classical. Our operational...

    - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY - Year 2008

    In this paper, we prove unconditional security for a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol based on distilling pbits (twisted ebits) from an arbitrary untrusted state that is claimed to contain distillable key. Our main result is that we can verify security using only public communication-via parameter estimation of the given untrusted state. The technique applies even to bound-entangled states, thus extending QKD to the regime...

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS - Year 2008

    Quantum cryptography enables one to verify that the state of the quantum system has not been tampered with and thus one can obtain privacy regardless of the power of the eavesdropper. All previous protocols relied on the ability to faithfully send quantum states or equivalently to share pure entanglement. Here we show this need not be the case-one can obtain verifiable privacy even through some channels which cannot be used to...

    Kwantowe splątanie jest jednym z podstawowych elementów kwantowej teorii informacji. Jak wiadomo niskowymiarowe (2otimes 2 i 2otimes 3) splątane stany kwantowe są zawsze destylowalne. W wyższych wymiarach jednak istnieją stany, które mimo, że są splątane nie pozwalają na destylację. Ten rodzaj splątania, nazywany związanym, jest często trudny do wykrycia i pozornie bezużyteczny. Jak pokazują jednak liczne badania splątanie związane...

    W pracy pokazano, że czterokubitowy stan o splątaniu związanym może maksymalnie łamać prostą nierówność Bella podobną do standardowej nierówności CHSH. Prostota rozważanego układu oraz odporność splątania sprawiają, że łamanie to jest obiecujące dla współczesnej technologii eksperymentalnej. Z drugiej strony, splątanie tego stanu nie pozwala na destylację bezpiecznego klucza kryptograficznego, zatem ani splątanie, ani maksymalne...

    Nieliniowe własności stanów kwantowych, takie jak entropia, splątania, określają ilość ważnych fizycznych źródeł i są często używane w informatyce kwantowej. Na ogół są one obliczane z pełnego opisu stanu kwantowego, pomimo tego, że zależą od niewielkiej ilości parametrów opisujących dany stan. Wyciągamy nielokalną i nieliniową wielkość, mianowicie entropię Renyi, z lokalnych pomiarów dwóch par fotonów splątanych polaryzacyjnie.
