Experimental aspects of indefinite causal order in quantum mechanics

LA Rozema, T Strömberg, H Cao, Y Guo, BH Liu… - Nature Reviews …, 2024 - nature.com
In the past decade, the toolkit of quantum information has been expanded to include
processes in which the basic operations do not have definite causal relations. Originally …

Charging quantum batteries via indefinite causal order: Theory and experiment

G Zhu, Y Chen, Y Hasegawa, P Xue - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
In the standard quantum theory, the causal order of occurrence between events is
prescribed, and must be definite. This has been maintained in all conventional scenarios of …

Experimental quantum communication enhancement by superposing trajectories

G Rubino, LA Rozema, D Ebler, H Kristjánsson… - Physical Review …, 2021 - APS
In quantum communication networks, wires represent well-defined trajectories along which
quantum systems are transmitted. In spite of this, trajectories can be used as a quantum …

Quantum metrology with indefinite causal order

X Zhao, Y Yang, G Chiribella - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We address the study of quantum metrology enhanced by indefinite causal order,
demonstrating a quadratic advantage in the estimation of the product of two average …

Indefinite causal order enables perfect quantum communication with zero capacity channels

G Chiribella, M Banik, SS Bhattacharya… - New Journal of …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Quantum mechanics is compatible with scenarios where the relative order between two
events can be indefinite. Here we show that two independent instances of a noisy process …

Fundamental limits for realizing quantum processes in spacetime

V Vilasini, R Renner - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Understanding the interface between quantum and relativistic theories is crucial for
fundamental and practical advances, especially given that key physical concepts such as …

Quantum refrigeration with indefinite causal order

D Felce, V Vedral - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We propose a thermodynamic refrigeration cycle which uses indefinite causal orders to
achieve nonclassical cooling. The cycle cools a cold reservoir while consuming purity in a …

Cyclic quantum causal models

J Barrett, R Lorenz, O Oreshkov - Nature communications, 2021 - nature.com
Causal reasoning is essential to science, yet quantum theory challenges it. Quantum
correlations violating Bell inequalities defy satisfactory causal explanations within the …

Quantum switch for the quantum internet: Noiseless communications through noisy channels

M Caleffi, AS Cacciapuoti - IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in …, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Counter-intuitively, quantum mechanics enables quantum particles to propagate
simultaneously among multiple space-time trajectories. Hence, a quantum information …
