Bell's theorem for temporal order

M Zych, F Costa, I Pikovski, Č Brukner - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Time has a fundamentally different character in quantum mechanics and in general relativity.
In quantum theory events unfold in a fixed order while in general relativity temporal order is …

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 …

Quantum Shannon theory with superpositions of trajectories

G Chiribella, H Kristjánsson - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Shannon's theory of information was built on the assumption that the information carriers
were classical systems. Its quantum counterpart, quantum Shannon theory, explores the …

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 …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] Communication through coherent control of quantum channels

AA Abbott, J Wechs, D Horsman, M Mhalla… - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
A completely depolarising quantum channel always outputs a fully mixed state and thus
cannot transmit any information. In a recent Letter [3], it was however shown that if a …

Resource theories of communication

H Kristjánsson, G Chiribella, S Salek… - New Journal of …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
A series of recent works has shown that placing communication channels in a coherent
superposition of alternative configurations can boost their ability to transmit information …

Communication through quantum-controlled noise

PA Guérin, G Rubino, Č Brukner - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
In a recent series of works [Ebler, Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 120502 (2018) PRLTAO 0031-9007
10.1103/PhysRevLett. 120.120502; arxiv: 1809.06655 v2; arxiv: 1810.10457 v2], it has …

Computational advantage from the quantum superposition of multiple temporal orders of photonic gates

MM Taddei, J Cariñe, D Martínez, T García, N Guerrero… - PRX Quantum, 2021 - APS
Models for quantum computation with circuit connections subject to the quantum
superposition principle have recently been proposed. In them, a control quantum system can …

Communication Enhancement through Quantum Coherent Control of N Channels in an Indefinite Causal-Order Scenario

LM Procopio, F Delgado, M Enríquez, N Belabas… - Entropy, 2019 - mdpi.com
In quantum Shannon theory, transmission of information is enhanced by quantum features.
Up to very recently, the trajectories of transmission remained fully classical. Recently, a new …
