Entanglement, loss, and quantumness: When balanced beam splitters are best

Pavillon Principal B-304, Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, Quebec, Canada, H3T 1J4

Abstract: Entanglement generation by beam splitters lies at the heart of quantum optics. Yet, the conjecture that maximal entanglement for any state interfered with the vacuum is generated by beam splitters with equal reflection and transmission probabilities has remained unproven for almost two decades, despite overwhelming positive evidence . I will report on our recent proof of this conjecture that led to monotonicity and convexity properties for quantum states undergoing photon loss . Because of the interplay between information theoretic concepts such as entropy and physical considerations such as quantum system design, noise, and loss, our results have numerous ramifications in development of applications and advancing our understanding of quantum physics . They extend to measures of similarity between states, yield to new inequalities for quasiprobability distributions and prove the conjecture in that the quadrature coherence scale always stops certifying nonclassicality at 50% loss.

Long timescale time-variant behavior of digital modems.

Room: Candle Room, Bldg: The Atrium, 104A- 111 Research Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

Join the IEEE North Saskatchewan Section (NSS) Circuits and Systems / Signal Processing / Communications (CAS/SP/COM) Joint Chapter for an engaging technical presentation featuring Calian Advanced Technologies and its cutting-edge innovations. The session will comprise an overview of Calian products and services, with a focus on its software defined radio (SDR) platform. This platform is used by Calian to implement a range of digital modems. Through a series of case studies, we’ll explore how digital radio architectures can become time-variant—and why this can cause failures that are especially challenging to detect and test. Linear time-invariant systems are the starting point for this type of analysis because linear time-invariant properties allow for reasonably straight forward mathematical modeling. More complex real-world designs often break these properties, in some cases intentionally in order to allow better performance to be achieved, and in some cases unintentionally. When time-variant behavior occurs over long timescales, it can be extremely challenging to test. Ideally, this type of behavior can be predicted early in the design process and then mitigated at the architecture level. The case studies provide examples of four classes of real-world long time variance in a digital modem: intrinsic-design, intrinsic-defect, extrinsic-design, and extrinsic-defect. 📅 Date: September 11 🕓 Time: 4:00 – 6:00 PM 📍 Location: The Candle Room, Innovation Place Whether you are a researcher, engineer, student, or professional in communications systems, this event will deliver valuable insights into the complexities of SDR technology and practical approaches to overcoming them. All are welcome — come learn, connect, and be part of the conversation! Speaker(s): Dr. Wilson Brenna, Room: Candle Room, Bldg: The Atrium, 104A- 111 Research Drive, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
