This PhD thesis is focused on the quantum measurement simulability problem, that is, deciding whether a given measurement can be simulated when only a restricted subset of measurements is accessible. ...
Supic, Ivan (Date of defense: 2018-09-19)
The last two decades have been a very fruitful period for the fundamental research related to quantum information theory. Today we have a fairly good understanding of how intrinsically quantum properties ...

The formulation of quantum physics stands among the most revolutionary theories of the twentieth century. During the first decades of this century, many phenomena concerning the microscopic world were ...
Baccari, Flavio (Date of defense: 2019-05-17)
Quantum physics is arguably both the most successful and the most counterintuitive physical theory of all times. Its extremely accurate predictions on the behaviour of microscopic particles have led ...

This thesis focusses on the essential features of Quantum Theory that are systems in an entangled state and Bell nonlocal correlations. Here, we take the angle of a resource theory and are interested ...
Raissi, Zahra (Date of defense: 2020-10-08)
Studying entanglement is essential for our understanding of such diverse areas as high-energy physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum optics. Moreover, entanglement allows us to surpass classical ...
Torre Carazo, Gonzalo de la (Date of defense: 2015-09-23)
Physics has two main ambitions: to predict and to understand. Indeed, physics aims for the prediction of all natural phenomena. Prediction entails modeling the correlation between an action, the input, ...

According to recent estimates, 10^18 bytes of data are generated on a daily basis around the globe. Our information society urges for radical solutions to treat such data deluge. By exploiting fundamental ...
Passaro, Elsa (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)
Quantum information science is a rapidly evolving field both from the theoretical and the experimental viewpoint, motivated by the fact that protocols exploiting quantum resources can perform tasks that ...
