• Abstract: This communication deals with the problem of bounding the approximation error on weak convergence of mixed coherent state towards a Gaussian thermal state. In the context of CVQKD with discrete modulation, we develop expressions for two specific cases. The first one is the distance between the Gaussian equivalent bipartite state and a reference Gaussian modulated (GG02) and the second one is for the trace distance between the constellation and a thermal state with same photon number. Since, in the convex set of density operators, weak convergence implies convergence in the trace norm, knowing how fast the sequence gets close to the equivalent Gaussian state has implication on the security of QKD Protocols. Here we derive two bounds on the $L_1$ distance, one of them related with an energy test that can be used in the security proof.

  We derive a closed-form achievable rate for entanglement-assisted classical communication over a lossy bosonic channel, where the entanglement is in the form of a Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum (TMSV) modulation restricted to Phase Shift Keying (PSK) The achievable rate is non-asymptotic in terms of the mean signal photon number, mean noise photon number, and transmissivity defining the communication channel.

  We consider an environment formed by incoherent photons as a resource for controlling open quantum systems via an incoherent control. We exploit a coherent control in the Hamiltonian and an incoherent control in the dissipator which induces the time-dependent decoherence rates.

  Kernel Stein discrepancies (KSDs) measure the quality of a distributional approximation. We first show that standard KSDs used for weak convergence control fail to control moment convergence. We then provide sufficient conditions under which alternative diffusion KSDs control both moment and weak convergence.

  We introduce the expected co-coercivity condition, explain its benefits, and provide the first last-iterate convergence guarantees of SGDA and SCO. We prove linear convergence of both methods to a neighborhood of the solution when they use constant step-size. Our convergence guarantees hold under the arbitrary sampling paradigm, and we give insights into the complexity of minibatching.

  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.

For Gaussian measures on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, convergence in the 2-Sinkhorn divergence is weaker than convergence in the exact 2-Wasserstein distance.
