• Abstract: A proper quantum memory is argued to consist in a quantum channel which cannot be simulated with a measurement followed by classical information storage and a final state preparation, i.e. an entanglement breaking (EB) channel. The verification of quantum memories (non-EB channels) is a task in which an honest user wants to test the quantum memory of an untrusted, remote provider. This task is inherently suited for the class of protocols with trusted quantum inputs, sometimes called measurement-device-independent (MDI) protocols. Here, we study the MDI certification of non-EB channels in continuous variable (CV) systems. We provide a simple witness based on adversarial metrology, and describe an experimentally friendly protocol that can be used to verify all non Gaussian incompatibility breaking quantum memories. Our results can be tested with current technology and can be applied to test other devices resulting in non-EB channels, such as CV quantum transducers and transmission lines.

  In a single-device setup, we propose a protocol called quantum system quizzing. This protocol achieves self-testing of an entire quantum model given by state preparation, gates, and measurement in a black-box scenario. We identify sets of instructions which self-test multi-qubit universal gate sets for arbitrary numbers of qubits, delivering the first sound certification tool for memory-bounded quantum computers.

  A proof of quantumness is an efficiently verifiable interactive test that an efficient quantum computer can pass. Existing single-round protocols require large quantum circuits, whereas multi-round ones use smaller circuits but require experimentally challenging mid-circuit measurements. We construct efficient single-round proofs of quantumness based on existing knowledge assumptions.

• 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.

  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.

  This paper studies the study of fault-tolerant channel coding for quantum channels. We use techniques from fault-tolerant quantum computing to establish coding theorems for sending classical and quantum information in this scenario. We extend these methods to the case of entanglement-assisted communication, in particular proving that the fault-tolerant capacity approaches the usual capacity when the gate error approaches zero.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.

Our method works in the general scenario where the devices are used a finite number of times, can exhibit correlations across multiple uses, and can change dynamically under the control of a malicious adversary.
