Disorder and photonics have long been seen as natural adversaries and designers of
optical systems have often driven systems to perfection by minimizing deviations from the …

Integrated quantum photonics, ie the generation, manipulation, and detection of quantum
states of light in integrated photonic chips, is revolutionizing the field of quantum information …

The quantum theory of electromagnetic radiation predicts characteristic statistical
fluctuations for light sources as diverse as sunlight, laser radiation, and molecule …

Quantum coherence, an essential feature of quantum mechanics allowing quantum
superposition of states, is a resource for quantum information processing. Coherence …

Initialization of composite quantum systems into highly entangled states is usually a must to
enable their use for quantum technologies. However, unavoidable noise in the preparation …

Topological insulators combine insulating properties in the bulk with scattering-free transport
along edges, supporting dissipationless unidirectional energy and information flow even in …

Quantum coherence plays a fundamental and operational role in different areas of physics.
A resource theory has been developed to characterize the coherence of distinguishable …

We address the structure of the Liouvillian superoperator for a broad class of bosonic and
fermionic Markovian open systems interacting with stationary environments. We show that …

We address the problem of entanglement protection against surrounding noise by a
procedure suitably exploiting spatial indistinguishability of identical subsystems. To this …

Quantum networking relies on entanglement distribution between distant nodes, typically
realized by swapping procedures. However, entanglement swapping is a demanding task in …
