• Abstract: In many natural and engineered systems, unknown quantum channels act on a subsystem that cannot be directly controlled and measured, but is instead learned through a controllable subsystem that weakly interacts with it. We study quantum channel discrimination (QCD) under these restrictions, which we call hidden system QCD (HQCD). We find that sequential protocols achieve perfect discrimination and saturate the Heisenberg limit. In contrast, depth-1 parallel and multi-shot protocols cannot solve HQCD. This suggests that sequential protocols are superior in experimentally realistic situations.

  Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows the establishment of common cryptographic keys among distant parties. Recently, a QKD protocol that circumvents the need for monitoring signal disturbance, has been proposed and demonstrated in initial experiments. We derive the security proofs of the round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol in the collective attack scenario. Our results show that the RRDPTS protocol can achieve higher secret key rate in comparison with the RRDPS, in the condition of high quantum bit error rate.

• Analytical Bounds for Dynamic Multi-Channel Discrimination [0.0]
  Optimal discrimination protocols often rely on entanglement shared between an incident probe and a protected idler-mode. In this work, we investigate idler-free block protocols based on the use of multipartite entangled probe states. We derive new, analytical bounds for the average error probability of such protocols in a bosonic Gaussian channel setting.

  Entanglement is a powerful tool for quantum sensing, and entangled states can greatly boost the discriminative power of protocols. Storing a quantum state is difficult and so technological limitations can make protocols requiring quantum memories impracticable. One alternative is idler-free protocols that utilise non-classical sources but do not require any idler states to be stored.
