VISUAL INFORMATION FOR THE QUANTUM AGE |
HeadlinesCongratulations to Drs. Daniel Oblak and Christoph Simon on their 2020 New Frontiers in Research Fund Exploration Grant: Uncovering the origin and role of ultra-weak bio-photons using quantum measurement technology. Congratulations to Dr. Carlo Maria Scandolo on his article "Operational resource theory of imaginarity" published in the Physical Review Letters 126(9): 090401. It is the editor's suggestion. Congratulations to Prof. Gilad Gour, Dr. Carlo Maria Scandolo on their article "Dynamical entanglement" published in the Physical Review Letters 125, 180505. Technical abstract: Quantum supermaps are a higher-order generalization of quantum maps, taking quantum maps to quantum maps. It is known that any completely positive, trace non-increasing (CPTNI) map can be performed as part of a quantum measurement. By providing an explicit counterexample we show that, instead, not every quantum supermap sending a quantum channel to a CPTNI map can be realized in a measurement on quantum channels. We find that the supermaps that can be implemented in this way are exactly those transforming quantum channels into CPTNI maps even when tensored with the identity supermap. We link this result to the fact that the principle of causality fails in the theory of quantum supermaps. Congratulations! Prof. Paul Barclay won the 2019 CAP Herzberg Medal. Quantum Technology Dream Team Receives Major Innovation Fund Congratulations! Rob Thompson has an article published in the Nature: Characterization of the 1S-2S transition in antihydrogen.
