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 …

Can imaginarity be broadcast via real operations?

L Zhang, N Li - Communications in Theoretical Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Imaginarity has proven to be a valuable resource in various quantum information processing
tasks. A natural question arises: can the imaginarity of quantum states be broadcast via real …

Towards minimal self-testing of qubit states and measurements in prepare-and-measure scenarios

G Drótos, KF Pál, A Taoutioui, T Vértesi - New Journal of Physics, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Self-testing is a promising approach to certifying quantum states or measurements.
Originally, it relied solely on the outcome statistics of the measurements involved in a device …

Efficient discrimination between real and complex quantum theories

J Batle, T Białecki, T Rybotycki, J Tworzydło… - Quantum, 2025 - quantum-journal.org
We improve the test to show the impossibility of a quantum theory based on real numbers by
a larger ratio of complex-to-real bound on a Bell-type parameter. In contrast to previous …

On the Bargmann invariants for quantum imaginarity

MS Li, YX Tan - arxiv preprint arxiv:2412.08022, 2024 - arxiv.org
The imaginary in quantum theory plays a crucial role in describing quantum coherence and
is widely applied in quantum information tasks such as state discrimination …

[HTML][HTML] On imaginarity witnesses

L Zhang, N Li - Physics Letters A, 2025 - Elsevier
Imaginarity is a valuable resource in quantum information processing. While quantifying it
often requires state tomography, detecting imaginarity alone is often sufficient. This work …

Device-independent full network nonlocality for arbitrary-party and unbounded-input scenario

S Munshi, AK Pan - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.19419, 2024 - arxiv.org
The nonlocality arising in a multi-party network involving multiple independent sources
radically differs from the standard multipartite Bell nonlocality involving a single source. The …

Quantifying imaginarity in terms of pure-state imaginarity

S Du, Z Bai - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.12215, 2024 - arxiv.org
Complex numbers are widely used in quantum physics and are indispensable components
for describing quantum systems and their dynamical behavior. The resource theory of …
