This two-day workshop is an opportunity for the people working in the field to discuss and compare different approaches, our ability to reduce assumptions and together attempt to define a coherent view on security proofs, claims and assumptions in practical QKD.

Quantum physics holds the promise of enhanced performance in metrology and sensing by exploiting non-classical phenomena such as multiparticle interference. Specific designs for quantum-enhanced schemes need to take into account noise and imperfections present in real-life implementations.

A half-day open house showcasing the latest developments in topological quantum materials, superconducting quantum circuits, quantum sources and detectors.

It has been suggested that placing dipolar linear rotors in one-dimensional lattices at zero temperature results in a model that has a transition between ordered and disordered phases. We use the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to compute ground states of this model near the critical point to provide further evidence of the phase transition. In particular, we numerically demonstrate divergences in both the entanglement entropy and the correlation length.

A Connection Between Gentle Measurement of Quantum States and Differential Privacy

I'll explain a surprising new connection between, on the one hand, gentle measurement (where one wants to measure n unentangled quantum states, in a way that damages the states only by a little), and on the other hand, differential privacy (a field of classical CS where one wants to query a database about n users, in a way that reveals only a little about any individual user).
