Funded Activity Summary

Relative quantum information theory. Quantum information encoded in relative degrees of freedom of multiple quantum systems offers striking advantages in communication and cryptography: it is immune to common types of noise and does not require reference systems shared between parties. This project aims to formulate a theory of relative quantum information, to develop practical information processing protocols that take advantage of relative encodings, and to propose proof-of-principle experiments in quantum optics that reveal these advantages. Expected outcomes include powerful communication and cryptographic protocols, a design for programmable quantum computation, and a fundamentally relative theory of quantum information connecting with other foundational fields of physics.
