Abstract

Exploiting partial knowledge of a qubit in terms of its basis-dependent measure of imaginarity, we formulate a steering criterion for bipartite qubit systems, which requires two dichotomic measurements at the untrusted side and two mutually unbiased bases at the trusted side. We show that quantum correlations embodied through our proposed imaginarity steering inequality (ISI) can be witnessed by suitably constructed Hermitian operators that depend on fewer state parameters and require measurement of fewer observables than for witnessing other forms of quantum non-local correlations. The monogamy of such correlations is also demonstrated. We further underscore the steering of imaginarity as an efficient non-local resource in the presence of white noise and under unsharp measurements, showing the robustness of imaginarity steering compared with certain other steering criteria.

Quantum steering based on partial state information

It is shown that quantum correlations embodied through the proposed imaginarity steering inequality (ISI) can be witnessed by suitably constructed Hermitian operators that depend on fewer state parameters and require measurement of fewer observables than for witnessing other forms of quantum non-local correlations.

Scalable Test of Genuine Multipartite Entanglement via Partially Randomized Measurements

Certifying genuine multipartite entanglement in quantum systems can require a number of measurements that grows exponentially with the system size. Here we introduce a criterion based on correlation-tensor subsector lengths restricted to local measurement planes and show that it can be evaluated using partially randomi...

The Entanglement Content of Quantum Measurement Bases

Bell-state measurements are essential ingredients in many protocols for quantum information processing, ranging from quantum teleportation and dense coding to entanglement distribution in quantum networks. Their power relies on the fact that they are measurements in an entangled basis of a two-particle system and that...

Teleportation of quantum Fisher information with Gaussian states

Quantum Fisher Information (QFI), which sets the fundamental bound on parameter estimation precision via the quantum Cramér-Rao inequality, is investigated for a general single-mode Gaussian state before and after teleportation. Using a two-mode squeezed vacuum state as a shared entanglement resource between Alice and...

Uncountably many inequivalent maximally entangled measurements for two qutrits

Every two-qubit measurement basis composed of maximally entangled eigenstates can be transformed into the Bell basis via local unitary operations. For higher dimensions, in contrast, there exist inequivalent bases composed of maximally entangled eigenstates. Here, we provide a single-parameter family of two-qutrit maxi...

Complementary Quantum Correlations Are Universal for Qubits

Extracting total correlations from a quantum system usually requires reconstructing its state, whereas many experiments access only a few measurement settings. A possible shortcut is to add the mutual informations obtained from complementary measurements; in dimensions above two, however, this procedure can count the s...
