Abstract: In this theoretical study, we analyze quantum walks on complex networks, which model network-based processes ranging from quantum computing to biology and even sociology. Specifically, we a...
Abstract: Like classical mechanics, quantum mechanics is a causal theory [1,2]--a theory that forbids sending messages from the future to the past. Still, one can simulate backward communication by p...
Abstract: We initiate the study of zero-error communication via quantum channels assisted by noiseless feedback link of unlimited quantum capacity, generalizing Shannon's zero-error communication the...
Abstract: We use quantum discord to characterize the correlations present in the model called deterministic quantum computation with one quantum bit (DQC1), introduced by Knill and Laflamme [Phys. Re...
Abstract: The robust generation of quantum states in the presence of decoherence is a primary challenge for explorations of quantummechanics at larger scales. Using themechanicalmotion of a single tr...
Abstract: We describe a simple and solvable model of a device that—like the ‘‘neat-fingered being’’ in Maxwell’s famous thought experiment—transfers energy from a cold system to a hot system b...
