Optimising quantum data hiding
Quantum data hiding is the existence of pairs of bipartite quantum states that are (almost) perfectly distinguishable with global measurements, yet close to indistinguishable when only measurements im...

The only thing that could possibly be hotter than Italian twins explaining entanglement in Italian is Italian triplets explaining the GHZ state.
Happy to share our TEDx talk where me and my twin @antonioannamele.bsky.social chat about quantum technologies!

Okay, last post on *quantum learning theory with CV systems* (for a few months🫣)
Today's new work tackles another natural and central question in this rapidly developing field: Given an unknown CV state, how to test whether is it Gaussian or not?

The saga of *quantum learning theory with CV systems* never ends!
And indeed, when you look closely at this field, many natural and promising questions arise. For instance:
How to learn CV Gaussian unitaries?

I’d like to advertise two cute technical results of today’s paper that may be of independent interest (I hope):
A new decomposition of Gaussian unitaries and new bosonic trace distance bounds (the saga of bosonic trace distance bounds never ends! 😍)

New bosonic paper out!
Take the covariance matrix of a pure state and count the number of symplectic eigenvalues that are strictly larger than one: this is a powerful non-Gaussian monotone — the *symplectic rank*

New paper out today on "Q Thermo with CV systems"!
What is the maximum energy that you can extract from a quantum state via Gaussian unitaries only?
We solve this problem by establishing a simple, cute formula for the *Gaussian ergotropy*.

New paper out!
We study one-shot q communication over reasonable non-Markovian lossy Gaussian channels. To do so, we prove error bounds on the convergence rate of the *powerful* Avram-Parter's (and Szego's) theorem, which may be of independent interest in matrix analysis.
