• Abstract: We show the utility of photon added-then-subtracted (PAS) state and two photon replaced (2PR) state when used in continuous variables measurement device independent quantum key distribution (CV-MDI-QKD) protocol. We report that single and two mode PAS state as well as two mode PR state outperform pure state protocol in the low squeezing and high noise regime. Single mode PAS state and two mode PAS state showed significant resilience to excess noise and offered a longer transmission distance when compared to pure and PR state CV-MDI protocol. Additionally we show that states with higher logarithmic negativity are not necessarily the best choice when used in CV-MDI-QKD.

  Low-bit quantization has become widespread for compressing image super-resolution (SR) models for edge deployment. It is notorious that low-bit quantization degrades the accuracy of SR models compared to their full-precision (FP) counterparts. We present a dual-stage low-bit post-training quantization (PTQ) method for image super-resolution, namely 2DQuant, which achieves efficient and accurate SR under low-bit quantization.

  Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) uses the quantum channel to transmit information reliably and securely. In order to eliminate the security loopholes resulting from practical detectors, the measurement-device-independent (MDI) QSDC protocol has been proposed. We propose a single-photon-memory MDI QSDC protocol (SPMQC) for dispensing with high-performance quantum memory.

We find that non-Gaussi coherent subtraction on squeezed states CV measurement device independent (MDI) QKD can yield significantly longer transmission distances than without.

We demonstrate that the EPW condition permits sample efficient RL, by providing an algorithm which provably solves MDPs satisfying this condition. We additionally show the necessity of conditions like EPW, by demonstrating that simple MDPs with slight nonlinearities cannot be solved sample efficiently.

  Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (QKD) employs the quadratures of a bosonic mode to establish a secret key between two remote parties. We consider a protocol with homodyne detection in the general setting of composable finite-size security. In particular, we analyze the high signal-to-noise regime which requires the use of high-rate (non-binary) low-density parity check codes.
