New preprint with @sayantansen.bsky.social and @marcotomamichel.bsky.social!! In Fast and Sure-ious QPT, we describe a simple and rigorous way to lift any QST algorithm (in fidelity) to a QPT algorithm, while allowing for all guarantees to transfer! scirate.com/arxiv/2609.3...

In a new preprint with Hao-Chung Cheng and @marcotomamichel.bsky.social, we give the exact strong converse exponent for the private capacity. The techniques used extend those recently put forward by my co-authors for the quantum capacity and include a new Renyi quantity. scirate.com/arxiv/2609.3...

New preprint out with @marcotomamichel.bsky.social ! Projections with Respect to Bures Distance and Fidelity: Closed-Forms and Applications scirate.com/arxiv/2602.1... We derive simple closed-form solutions for fidelity / Bures/purified distance projections to various sets of interest.
A meme indicating how various objects in quantum information (pretty good measurement, Petz recovery map, Leifer-Spekkens state over time, and others) are shown to be fidelity/Bures projections in our article.

The consecutive measurement theorem makes rigorous and robust the intuition that if there exist measurements that succeed with high probability to guess various properties of a quantum system then two consecutive such measurements can be used to deduce two properties with high probability as well.

In many cryptographic tasks, we encounter scenarios where information about two incompatible observables must be retrieved. A natural approach is to perform consecutive measurements, raising a key que...
