Many authors have proposed what are known as "phase-space" or "classical" representations of quantum mechanics. A unifying framework is given which illustrates the relationship among these various theories. Examples relevant to quantum computing will be given.
An Introduction to One-Way Patterns
June 01, 2007

PIRSA:07060007
Quantum Physics
The one-way measurement model is a model of quantum computation which is intriguing for its' potential as a means of implementing quantum computers, but also for theoretical purposes for the different way in which it allows quantum operations to be described. Instead of a sequence of unitary gates on an array of ``wires'', operations are described in terms of emph{patterns}, consisting of a graph of entanglement relations on a set of qubits, together with a collection of measurement angles for these qubits (except possibly for a subset which will support a final quantum state). In this introductory talk, I describe the relationship between patterns in the one-way measurement model to quantum circuits, and explore patterns which represent unitary operations but which emph{don't} have direct analogues in the circuit model.
Cluster State Quatum Computing in Optical Fibres

June 01, 2007

PIRSA:07060006
Quantum Physics
In this presentation I will briefly explain the cluster state model of quantum computing. Then will talk about a scheme that uses polarization and time-bin degrees of freedom of photons in optical fibres for the optical realization of this model. We are currently working on the implementation of this scheme in our lab.
A New Protocol for Loss-Tolerant Quantum Coin Tossing
June 01, 2007

PIRSA:07060005
Quantum Physics
Quantum coin tossing is a cryptographic task in which two parties, Alice and Bob, wish to generate a shared random bit but do not necessarily trust each other. This task is completely impossible to realize with classical asynchronous communication but becomes at least partially feasible when quantum communication is also available. The best quantum protocol known so far, due to Ambainis, uses qutrits and is near optimal in the sense that either party can bias the outcome with at most a 75% probability of success. However, when the transmission of the link is below 50%, Ambainis' protocol can be easily broken by a cheating Bob. This problem arises whenever there exists a conclusive measurement allowing Bob to obtain with certainty, although with a probability less than one, relevant information about the state sent by Alice. In this talk, we will present a new protocol for quantum coin tossing that does not suffer from this weakness and, as a consequence, is loss-tolerant. We discuss possible attacks and argue that the protocol is secure. Technologically, the implementation of this protocol is no more difficult than implementing entangled quantum key distribution with qubits. This is joint work with Guido Berlin, Gilles Brassard and Nicolas Godbout.
Degradability of Bosonic Gaussian Channels

Filippo Caruso Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa
June 01, 2007

PIRSA:07060004
Quantum Physics
The notion of weak-degradability of quantum channels is introduced by generalizing the degradability definition given by Devetak and Shor. Exploiting the unitary equivalence with beam-splitter/amplifier channels we then prove that a large class of one-mode Bosonic Gaussian channels are either weakly degradable or anti-degradable. In the latter case this implies that their quantum capacity Q is null. In the former case instead, this allows us to establish the additivity of the coherent information for those maps which admit unitary representation with single-mode pure environment.
Subsystem Quantum Error Correcting Codes

PIRSA:07060029
Quantum Physics
The essential insight of quantum error correction was that quantum information can be protected by suitably encoding this quantum information across multiple independently erred quantum systems. Recently it was realized that, since the most general method for encoding quantum information is to encode it into a subsystem, there exists a novel form of quantum error correction beyond the traditional quantum error correcting subspace codes. These new quantum error correcting subsystem codes differ from subspace codes in that their quantum correcting routines can be considerably simpler than related subspace codes. Here we present a class of quantum error correcting subsystem codes constructed from two classical linear codes. These codes are the subsystem versions of the quantum error correcting subspace codes which are generalizations of Shor’s original quantum error correcting subspace codes. For every Shor-type code, the codes we present give a considerable savings in the number of stabilizer measurements needed in their error recovery routines.

Quantum Physics
In quantum information, one can prove that a secure quantum cryptography channel based on photon key distribution requires reliable single photon sources. If not, a potential eavesdropper may be able to get information using the extra photons. Current sources are based on either attenuated laser beams, which may produce randomly 2 or even more photons at a time following a poissonian statistics, or either based on two level-systems providing single photon sources often requiring cooling or complex set-ups.The goal of our experiment is to provide an easy, robust and compact single photon source using nonlinear optics (parametric down-conversion). We want to study its statistics and compare it to other photon sources. We could use this heralded single photon source to create a quantum communication channel.

Einstein, Black Holes, and the Search for a Theory of Everything

May 27, 2007

PIRSA:07050090

Ever wondered just what Einstein did? Thought about what goes on inside a black hole? Been curious about the way the universe works? If so, then this is the presentation for you. This talk will cover a wide range of topics and give you an idea of the sorts of things researchers at Perimeter Institute are working on. Along the way, you’ll learn about how important it is to be curious and ask lots of questions.
