On-Line Partitioning for On-Line Scheduling with Resource Conflicts
PublikacjaWithin this paper, we consider the problem of on-line partitioning the sequence of jobs which are competing for non-sharable resources. As a result of partitioning we get the subsets of jobs that form separate instances of the on-line scheduling problem. The objective is to generate a partition into the minimum number of instances such that the response time of any job in each instance is bounded by a given constant. Our research...

Separability in terms of a single entanglement witness
PublikacjaThe separability problem is formulated in terms of a characterization of a single entanglement witness. More specifically, we show that any (in general multipartite) state rho is separable if and only if a specially constructed entanglement witness W-rho is weakly optimal, i.e., its expectation value vanishes on at least one product vector. Interestingly, the witness can always be chosen to be decomposable. Our result changes the...

Broadcast copies reveal the quantumness of correlations
PublikacjaWe 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...

All Nonclassical Correlations Can Be Activated into Distillable Entanglement
PublikacjaWe 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...

Towards Resource Theory of Coherence in Distributed Scenarios
PublikacjaThe search for a simple description of fundamental physical processes is an important part of quantum theory. One example for such an abstraction can be found in the distance lab paradigm: if two separated parties are connected via a classical channel, it is notoriously difficult to characterize all possible operations these parties can perform.
