Abstract: Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations cannot pro...
Abstract: We use soft heaps to obtain simpler optimal algorithms for selecting the k-th smallest item, and the set of k smallest items, from a heap-ordered tree, from a collection of sorted lists, an...
Abstract: Within the hierarchy of quantum correlations, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering task (also called quantum steering) is distinguished from both entanglement verification and Bell nonlocal...
Abstract: In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era (NISQ), we are likely to achieve practical quantum advantage using near-term programmable quantum hardware. We focus on the variational quantum a...
Abstract: Random quantum states and operations are of fundamental and practical interests. In this work, we investigate the entanglement properties of random hypergraph states, which generalize the n...
Abstract: Thermally induced electrical currents, known as Johnson noise, cause fluctuating electric and magnetic fields in proximity to a conductor. These fluctuations are intrinsically related to th...
