Abstract: Information is central to quantummechanics. In particular, quantum interference occurs only if there exists no information to distinguish between the superposed states. The mere possibility...
Abstract: We develop an efficient scheme that allows for arbitrary operations on a cavity mode using a strongly dispersive qubit-cavity interaction and time-dependent drives. The scheme can readily b...
Abstract: We review the framework of operational probabilistic theories, with particular emphasis on those notions that are related to the structure of composite systems. We then introduce the fermio...

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...
Abstract: Giulio Chiribella will say a few words about the relation between quantum cloning and the distinguishability of quantum states, presenting, among other things, the solution of a previously ...
