Kochen-specker contextuality

C Budroni, A Cabello, O Gühne, M Kleinmann… - Reviews of Modern …, 2022 - APS
A central result in the foundations of quantum mechanics is the Kochen-Specker theorem. In
short, it states that quantum mechanics is in conflict with classical models in which the result …

Schrödinger cat states of a 16-microgram mechanical oscillator

M Bild, M Fadel, Y Yang, U Von Lüpke, P Martin… - Science, 2023 - science.org
According to quantum mechanics, a physical system can be in any linear superposition of its
possible states. Although the validity of this principle is routinely validated for microscopic …

Contextuality supplies the 'magic'for quantum computation

M Howard, J Wallman, V Veitch, J Emerson - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Quantum computers promise dramatic advantages over their classical counterparts, but the
source of the power in quantum computing has remained elusive. Here we prove a …

Non-Gaussian quantum states and where to find them

M Walschaers - PRX quantum, 2021 - APS
Gaussian states have played an important role in the physics of continuous-variable
quantum systems. They are appealing for the experimental ease with which they can be …

Catalysis in quantum information theory

P Lipka-Bartosik, H Wilming, NHY Ng - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Catalysts open up new reaction pathways that can speed up chemical reactions while not
consuming the catalyst. A similar phenomenon has been discovered in quantum information …

Application of a resource theory for magic states to fault-tolerant quantum computing

M Howard, E Campbell - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
Motivated by their necessity for most fault-tolerant quantum computation schemes, we
formulate a resource theory for magic states. First, we show that robustness of magic is a …

Modes and states in quantum optics

C Fabre, N Treps - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
A few decades ago, quantum optics stood out as a new domain of physics by exhibiting
states of light with no classical equivalent. The first investigations concerned single photons …

The resource theory of stabilizer quantum computation

V Veitch, SAH Mousavian, D Gottesman… - New Journal of …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Recent results on the non-universality of fault-tolerant gate sets underline the critical role of
resource states, such as magic states, to power scalable, universal quantum computation …

Resource theory of quantum non-Gaussianity and Wigner negativity

F Albarelli, MG Genoni, MGA Paris, A Ferraro - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We develop a resource theory for continuous-variable systems grounded on operations
routinely available within current quantum technologies. In particular, the set of free …
