On near-martingales and a class of anticipating linear stochastic differential equations

Hui-Hsiung Kuo, Pujan Shrestha, Sudip Sinha, Padmanabhan Sundar

Summary: The paper aims to prove a near-martingale optional stopping theorem and establish solvability and large deviations for a class of anticipating linear stochastic differential equations. Solutions' existence and uniqueness are demonstrated using two approaches, and a Freidlin-Wentzell type large deviations result is established for the equation's solution. Large deviation results are also proven for small noise with random initial conditions.

Scalable Implementation of Temporal and Phase Encoding QKD with Phase-Randomized States

Saverio Francesconi, Claudia De Lazzari, Domenico Ribezzo, Ilaria Vagniluca, Nicola Biagi, Tommaso Occhipinti, Alessandro Zavatta, Davide Bacco

Summary: Quantum key distribution (QKD), which exchanges cryptographic keys exploiting the laws of quantum physics, is already a reality. However, current implementations based on attenuated lasers have limitations in terms of stability and scalability. This work demonstrates a novel scheme for implementing a reconfigurable and scalable QKD transmitter based on time-bin encoding and decoy-state employing phase-randomized weak states.

Conformal scattering theories for tensorial wave equations on Schwarzschild spacetime

Truong Xuan Pham

Summary: This paper establishes the constructions of conformal scattering theories for tensorial wave equations on Schwarzschild spacetime. The method combines Penrose's conformal compactification and the energy decay results of tensorial fields to prove the energy equality of the fields through the conformal boundary and the initial Cauchy hypersurface. The well-posedness of the Goursat problem is proven using a generalization of Hörmander's results.

Thermodynamical properties of an ideal gas in a traversable wormhole

A. A. Araujo Filho, J. Furtado, J. A. A. S. Reis, J. E. G. Silva

Summary: This work analyzes the thermodynamic properties of non-interacting particles under the influence of the gravitational field of a traversable wormhole. The study investigates how the thermodynamic quantities are affected by the Ellis wormhole geometry in three different regions. The results show that the thermodynamic state quantities exhibit significant changes by varying the parameter controlling the wormhole throat radius, displaying behaviors similar to both usual matter and dark energy. Additionally, the interactions seem to have the potential to cure the dark energy-like features.

On super quantum discord for high-dimensional bipartite state

Jianming Zhou, Xiaoli Hu, Naihuan Jing

Summary: By quantifying the difference between quantum mutual information through weak measurement on a subsystem, the notion of super quantum discord is introduced. The super version is found to be difficult to compute, similar to the quantum discord captured by strong measurements. Effective bounds for the super quantum discord with or without phase damping channels in higher-dimensional bipartite quantum states are provided, and it is found that the super version is always larger than the usual quantum discord in the 2-dimensional case.

Stabilizer Rényi entropy on qudits

Yiran Wang, Yongming Li

Summary: This paper investigates the quantification of magic and introduces a suitable magic measure that is generalized to multi-dimensional quantum systems. By calculating relevant magic states and comparing with other measures, the applicability of this measure is demonstrated. A tighter upper bound is obtained using group covariant symmetric informationally complete (SIC) states, and the measure is extended to mixed states.

Summary: This paper investigates the thermal conductivity of hydroxide catalysis bonds in gravitational wave detectors and concludes that the use of hydroxide catalysis bonding has minimal impact on the required heat extraction for cryogenic operation. Therefore, it remains an attractive solution for building future cryogenic instruments with reduced thermal noise and enhanced astrophysical reach.
