• Title: Hiding and masking quantum information in complex and real quantum mechanics
• Authors: Huangjun Zhu
• Abstract summary: It is impossible to hide or mask all quantum information according to the no-hiding and no-masking theorems. We show that any set of informationally complete quantum states is neither hidable nor maskable. The set of real quantum states is a maximal maskable set within quantum theory and has a surprising connection with maximally entangled states.

• Abstract: Classical information can be completely hidden in the correlations of bipartite quantum systems. However, it is impossible to hide or mask all quantum information according to the no-hiding and no-masking theorems derived recently. Here we show that any set of informationally complete quantum states is neither hidable nor maskable, thereby strengthening the no-hiding and no-masking theorems known before. Then, by virtue of Hurwitz-Radon matrices (representations of the Clifford algebra), we show that information about real quantum states can be completely hidden in the correlations, although the minimum dimension of the composite Hilbert space required increases exponentially with the dimension of the original Hilbert space. Moreover, the set of real quantum states is a maximal maskable set within quantum theory and has a surprising connection with maximally entangled states. These results offer valuable insight on the potential and limit of hiding and masking quantum information, which are of intrinsic interest to a number of active research areas.

  We introduce a quantum hardness assumption called the Hamiltonian Phase State (HPS) problem. We show that our assumption is plausibly fully quantum; meaning, it cannot be used to construct one-way functions. We show that our assumption and its variants allow us to efficiently construct many pseudorandom quantum primitives.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

• How much classical information is carried by a quantum state? An approach inspired by Kolmogorov complexity [0.0]
  I give a definition of the (classical) information content of a quantum state. I show that, for some well-known quantum circuits, the information content of the output state is evaluated in the number of qubits. On the other hand, applying known results, it is possible to devise quantum circuits that generate much more complex states.

  We experimentally realize a masking protocol of the real ququart by virtue of a photonic quantum walk. Our experiment clearly demonstrates that quantum information of the real ququart can be completely hidden in bipartite correlations of two-qubit hybrid entangled states. The hidden information is not accessible from each qubit alone, but can be faithfully retrieved with a fidelity of about 99% from correlation measurements.

  Masking of quantum information spreads it over nonlocal correlations and hides it from the subsystems. We show that the resource of maskable quantum states are far more abundant than the no-go theorem seemingly suggests. We devise a photonic quantum information masking machine to experimentally investigate the properties of qubit masking.

We discuss a finite-dimensional version of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code to protect quantum information encoded in the collective spins.
