Experimental certification of contextuality, coherence, and dimension in a programmable universal photonic processor

T Giordani, R Wagner, C Esposito, A Camillini… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Quantum superposition of high-dimensional states enables both computational speed-up
and security in cryptographic protocols. However, the exponential complexity of tomographic …

Unitary-invariant witnesses of quantum imaginarity

C Fernandes, R Wagner, L Novo, EF Galvão - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Quantum theory is traditionally formulated using complex numbers. This imaginarity of
quantum theory has been quantified as a resource with applications in discrimination tasks …

Quantum circuits for measuring weak values, Kirkwood–Dirac quasiprobability distributions, and state spectra

R Wagner, Z Schwartzman-Nowik… - Quantum Science …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Weak values and Kirkwood–Dirac (KD) quasiprobability distributions have been
independently associated with both foundational issues in quantum theory and advantages …

Coherence and contextuality in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer

R Wagner, A Camillini, EF Galvão - Quantum, 2024 - quantum-journal.org
We analyse nonclassical resources in interference phenomena using generalized
noncontextuality inequalities and basis-independent coherence witnesses. We use recently …

Inequalities witnessing coherence, nonlocality, and contextuality

R Wagner, RS Barbosa, EF Galvão - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
Quantum coherence, nonlocality, and contextuality are key resources for quantum
advantage in metrology, communication, and computation. We introduce a graph-based …

Measuring relational information between quantum states, and applications

M Oszmaniec, DJ Brod, EF Galvão - New Journal of Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
The geometrical arrangement of a set of quantum states can be completely characterized
using relational information only. This information is encoded in the pairwise state overlaps …

Many-body coherence and entanglement probed by randomized correlation measurements

E Brunner, A Buchleitner, G Dufour - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
We show how coherences between identical constituents of a many-body quantum state can
be interrogated by suitable correlation functions and identify sufficient conditions under …

Convexity of noncontextual wirings and how they order the set of correlations

T Santos, R Wagner, B Amaral - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
The resource theory of contextuality considers resourceful objects to be probabilistic data
tables, known as correlations or behaviors, that fail to have an explanation in terms of …

Relative purity, speed of fluctuations, and bounds on equilibration times

DP Pires, TR de Oliveira - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
We discuss the local equilibration of closed systems using the relative purity, a paradigmatic
information-theoretic distinguishability measure that finds applications ranging from …

The interplay between quantum contextuality and Wigner negativity

PE Emeriau - arxiv preprint arxiv:2204.08782, 2022 - arxiv.org
The use of quantum information in technology promises to supersede the so-called classical
devices used nowadays. Understanding what features are inherently non-classical is crucial …
