• Abstract summary: We study the geometry of quantum correlations and their implications for robust device-independent randomness generation. We identify a boundary for the set of these correlations expressed as a trade-off between the amount of nonlocality between different observers. We propose a practical protocol based on non-projective measurements that can produce the boundary correlations under ideal conditions.

• Abstract: Quantum correlations between the measurements of two or more separated observers play a fundamental role in many applications, such as randomness generation or key distribution. Recently, it was realized that sequential measurements (i.e., defined with a precise temporal ordering between subsequent measurements on a given system) can enhance the performance of these protocols. However, the theoretical understanding of how to maximize this performance is limited and the relation with the boundary of quantum correlations is unexplored. In the case of one party on one side and two sequential parties on the other, we study the geometry of quantum correlations and its implications for robust device-independent randomness generation. We identify a boundary for the set of these correlations expressed as a trade-off between the amount of nonlocality between different observers and show that this allows to generate the maximum possible device-independent randomness in our setting, namely two bits. We propose a practical protocol based on non-projective measurements that can produce the boundary correlations under ideal conditions, and address its robustness to noise, showing that it is improved compared to previous approaches. Finally, we implement our protocol in a proof-of-concept experiment based on a photonic implementation. With the obtained correlations we could certify more bits per state with respect to the standard CHSH protocol, proving that our protocol is feasible and robust to real-world imperfections. Our work paves the way for a full understanding of sequential quantum correlations and their exploitation for practical and efficient device-independent protocols.

  Device-independent quantum information is attracting significant attention, particularly for its applications in information security. We propose a systematic approach to designing sequential quantum protocols for device-independent security. We analytically prove that, with this systematic construction, the resulting ideal correlations are secure in the sense that they cannot be reproduced as a statistical mixture of other correlations.

We show that the corresponding conditional entropies admit a particularly nice form which, in the context of device-independent optimization, can be relaxed to a semidefinite programming problem.

• Environment-assisted bosonic quantum communications [0.0]
  We consider a quantum relay which is used by two parties to perform several continuous-variable protocols of quantum communication. In the worst case scenario where bipartite entanglement is completely lost at the relay, we show that the various protocols can be reactivated by the assistance of classical (separable) correlations in the environment. Our findings are confirmed by a proof-of-principle experiment where we show, for the first time, that memory effects in the environment can drastically enhance the performance of a quantum relay.
