SEMINAR: Demultiplexing Generalized Information via Quantum Transmission Lines

Hour: From 15:00h to 15:30h

Place: Seminar Room

SEMINAR: Demultiplexing Generalized Information via Quantum Transmission Lines

TAMAL GUHA
Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava

Demultiplexers are the fundamental primitives of network architecture, enabling perfect routing of an input classical signal to a designated one, among multiple output ports. Quantum transmission lines, having access to the quantum systems directly, are able to transmit both the classical and quantum information encoded in quantum systems. A natural question therefore emerges that whether the scrambled classical and quantum information in a quantum system can be perfectly demultiplexed in the designated classical and quantum output ports? In this talk, I will first answer this question by introducing a quantum to quantum-classical device, namely the quantum demultiplexer (Q-DEMUX). Then I will characterize the class of Q-DEMUXs enabling perfect routing of both the classical and the quantum information along with their simple circuit realizations. A stronger variant of Q-DEMUXs will also be discussed, where the sender is oblivious regarding the nature of the data to be transmitted. Finally, I will conclude by highlighting an explicit connection between the strength of a Q-DEMUX with the incompatibility of quantum instruments.
