• Abstract summary: Generalised quantum measurements go beyond the textbook concept of a projection onto an orthonormal basis in Hilbert space. Here, we use state-of-the-art multicore optical fiber technology to build multiport beamsplitters and faithfully implement a seven-outcome generalised measurement in a four-dimensional Hilbert space with a fidelity of $99.7%$. We apply it to perform an elementary quantum communication task and demonstrate a success rate that cannot be simulated in any conceivable quantum protocol based on standard projective measurements on quantum messages of the same dimension.

• Abstract: Generalised quantum measurements go beyond the textbook concept of a projection onto an orthonormal basis in Hilbert space. They are not only of fundamental relevance but have also an important role in quantum information tasks. However, it is highly demanding to certify that a generalised measurement is indeed required to explain the results of a quantum experiment in which only the degrees of freedom are assumed to be known. Here, we use state-of-the-art multicore optical fiber technology to build multiport beamsplitters and faithfully implement a seven-outcome generalised measurement in a four-dimensional Hilbert space with a fidelity of $99.7\%$. We apply it to perform an elementary quantum communication task and demonstrate a success rate that cannot be simulated in any conceivable quantum protocol based on standard projective measurements on quantum messages of the same dimension. Our approach, which is compatible with modern photonic platforms, showcases an avenue for faithful and high-quality implementation of genuinely nonprojective quantum measurements beyond qubit systems.

  We demonstrate an integrated quantum photonic platform to realize such a measurement on three-level quantum systems. The device operates at the high fidelities necessary for a genuine many-outcome quantum measurement. It is programmable and can readily implement other quantum measurements at similarly high quality.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

  We provide the full picture of quantum correlations in top quarks by studying also quantum discord and steering. quantum discord in a separable quantum state is expected to be detected with high-statistical significance. In contrast to entanglement, the asymmetric nature of quantum discord and steering can provide witnesses of $CP$-violating physics beyond the Standard Model.

We show how small higher-dimensional components can significantly compromise the conclusions of established protocols.

  Generation and control of quantum correlations in high-dimensional systems is a major challenge in the present landscape of quantum technologies. We propose a protocol that is able to attain entangled states of $d$-dimensional systems through a quantum-walk-based it transfer & accumulate mechanism. In particular, we illustrate a possible photonic implementation where the information is encoded in the orbital angular momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of single photons.
