Quantum Steering Ellipsoids

Quantum steering ellipsoids, extremal physical states and monogamy

Any two-qubit state can be faithfully represented by a steering ellipsoid inside the Bloch sphere, but not every ellipsoid inside the Bloch sphere corresponds to a two-qubit state. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for when the geometric data describe a physical state and investigate maximal volume ellipsoids lying on the physical-unphysical boundary. We derive monogamy relations for ...

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering and Quantum Steering Ellipsoids: Optimal Two-Qubit States and Projective Measurements

Experimental temporal quantum steering

Temporal steering is a form of temporal correlation between the initial and final state of a quantum system. It is a temporal analogue of the famous Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (spatial) steering. We demonstrate, by measuring the photon polarization, that temporal steering allows two parties to verify if they have been interacting with the same particle, even if they have no information about what ...

Quantum steering and spacelike separation.

In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, measurements performed by separate observers are modeled via tensor products. In algebraic quantum field theory, though, local observables corresponding to spacelike separated parties are just required to commute. The problem of determining whether these two definitions of separation lead to the same set of bipartite correlations is known in nonlocality as ...

Extracting quantum coherence via steering

As the precious resource for quantum information processing, quantum coherence can be created remotely if the involved two sites are quantum correlated. It can be expected that the amount of coherence created should depend on the quantity of the shared quantum correlation, which is also a resource. Here, we establish an operational connection between coherence induced by steering and the quantu...
