We consider the problem of estimating unknown transmittance θ of a target bathed in thermal background light.

Changing the properties of materials on demand is crucial both for understanding the conditions which allow for the appearance of emergent order and for generating new functionalities.

Magic state generation is a key ingredient in quantum computing, and until recently it was believed to consume a large amount of computational resources.

Blind quantum computing (BQC) allows a client to delegate quantum computations to a server while keeping both data and algorithms private. However, practical BQC faces major challenges when scaling to fault-tolerant regimes due to losses, overhead, and limited client capabilities.

In this talk, I will present a beautiful—yet seemingly little-known—relation that expresses the SWAP operator in quantum mechanics as an average over Heisenberg-Weyl displacements. This relation holds for qubits, qudits, and even continuous-variable systems in quantum optics.

Our understanding of the foundations of (quantum) cryptography has changed in the past couple of years.  Arguably, the most important problem in computer science, the P vs.
