Abstract: Suppose P, Q are probability distributions on the same sample space. Their relative entropy is defined as S(P||Q) = \sum_i P(i) \log (P(i) / Q(i)). The relative entropy is an important info...
Abstract: Coherent state photon sources are widely used in quantum information processing. In many applications, a coherent state is functioned as a mixture of Fock states by assuming its phase is co...
Abstract: A quantum memory is a key component for quantum networks, which will enable the distribution of quantum information. Its successful development requires storage of singlephoton light. Encod...
Abstract: The realization of a scalable quantum information processor has emerged over the past decade as one of the central challenges at the interface of fundamental science and engineering. In thi...
Abstract: Quantum key distribution (QKD) establishes secure links between remote communication partners. As a key problem for various QKD protocols, security analysis gives the number of secret keys ...
Abstract: I will introduce the field of quantum simulations from a wide scientific perspective. Then, I will discuss the relevance of quantum simulations for reproducing different aspects of quantum ...
