Mostly Quantum

I have a new paper, “Information complementarity in quantum physics” on the ArXiv preprint server. We studied the distribution of information in a whole zoo of pure and mixed two-photon quantum states and demonstrate experimentally that local information is complementary to information stored in correlations.

The paper contains the probably most extensive range of experimentally created two-photon quantum states so far and a number of insights about bipartite complementarity that were previously not widely known. Most of the experimental work was done by Bojan Skerlak, a Swiss student (and surf-tourist extraordinaire) from ETH who decided to do his master’s thesis here in Queensland. The theory was heavily influenced by Tomasz Paterek.
