Noiseless Linear Amplifiers in Entanglement-Based Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution

TL;DR: Simulation results show that the noiseless linear amplifiers can improve the performance of two entanglement-based continuous-variable quantum key distribution protocols, in terms of maximal transmission distances, when the authors consider small amounts ofEntanglement, as typical in realistic setups.

Ultra-fast real-time quantum random number generator with correlated measurement outcomes and rigorous security certification

TL;DR: This work experimentally realizes a QRNG that does not rely on assumptions that are either hardly justified or indeed unnecessary, and whose stochastic model is established by a rigorous -- metrological -- approach and will therefore find widespread applications in quantum random number generators.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantum-enhanced barcode decoding and pattern recognition

TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize this theoretical model to the multi-partite setting of barcode decoding and pattern recognition, and demonstrate the advantage of using quantum sensors for pattern recognition with the nearest neighbor classifier, a supervised learning algorithm and numerically verify this prediction for handwritten digit classification.

Thermal Quantum Metrology

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal sources with suitable correlations can be engineered in such a way to approach, or even surpass, the error scaling of coherent states in the presence of general Gaussian decoherence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finite-resource teleportation stretching for continuous-variable systems

TL;DR: In this article, the secret-key capacity of phase-insensitive Gaussian channels was derived for point-to-point and repeater-assisted private communications, which approximate the optimal limit for infinite energy.
