Nonlocality is a useful quantum resource in applications such as quantum key distribution and quantum random number generation. We study nonlocality in a multi-qubit model—quantum kicked top (QKT). This system is of particular interest because it displays regular behavior, bifurcations and chaotic behavior in the classical limit, and is one of the few chaotic systems that has been experimentally realized.

Co-organized by the National Research Council of Canada 

The meeting brings together the Canadian community of scientists and engineers who perform research and development on spin-based quantum technologies. This will be the third annual workshop, with the main goal to foster spin qubit research and attract and train highly qualified personnel for the emerging quantum technologies sector in Canada.

We present two concrete examples where the Renyi rather than just the von Neumann entanglement entropy is necessary in order to obtain certain insights into quantum many-body systems.

One-out-of-two (1-2) oblivious transfer is a cryptographic primitive, in which a sender holds two bits, x0 and x1, and a receiver receives one of them, in such a way that the receiver does not know both bits, and the sender does not know which bit the receiver obtained. While information-theoretical security for quantum versions of such protocols is not possible, it is of interest to examine possible security bounds, which previous work has shown to be set at 0.749 in “complete” protocols employing pure symmetric states.

Academic Writing Workshop #3

Elisabeth van Stam (UW Writing and Communication Centre)

Join us for our ongoing writing series on clarity in scientific writing. During this session, we will cover theory and practical examples related to active vs. passive voice, verb tense in scientific writing, parallel structure and more.
