Giacomo Tanzi’s talk

On February 17th, Wednesday, 12:00 AM in AQM room, (Department of Physics, LITA 5th floor).

Giacomo Tanzi Marlotti (Unimi PhD student) will deliver a seminar on a recent published research about quantum theoretical modeling of the properties of positronium atoms in small cavities. The title of the seminar is “A new insight on positronium confinement in nanoporous materials”.

Fidelity in tomographic reconstruction of continuous variable systems

Abstract: Fidelity is a widely adopted measure of closeness between quantum states either pure or mixed. Although it is not a proper distance in the Hilbert space, fidelity can be linked to distances inducing a metric over the manifold of density matrix. This relation is commonly adopted to justify the assumption that states with a high value of fidelity, viz. 0.9 or 0.99 is enough to certify that two states shares identical physical properties. We analyze a set of experimentally generated quantum states by means of tomographic analysis. Hence we will show that benchmarking with the usual fidelity thresholds does not accomplish that task, in addition we emphasise how only full quantum tomography does.

Relay-based protocols in correlated-noise Gaussian environments

We consider continuous-variable protocols exploiting a quantum relay, such as entanglement swapping, quantum teleportation, and QKD. Their theory is extended to a non-Markovian spatial model of decoherence characterized by correlated Gaussian noise. Even if bipartite entanglement is completely lost at the relay, we show that the various protocols can progressively be reactivated by the separable noise-correlations of the environment.
