DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Francesco Albarelli (University of Warwick)\nWe deri
 ve fundamental bounds on the maximal achievable precision in multiparamete
 r noisy quantum metrology\, tighter than a direct use of single-parameter 
 results. This allows us to study the effect of incompatibility of optimal 
 probe states for simultaneous estimation of multiple parameters in generic
  channels\, so far studied mostly in noiseless scenarios. We apply our res
 ults to several paradigmatic example\, such as lossy multiple-phase interf
 erometry.\nGoing beyond the multiparameter estimation paradigm\, we introd
 uce the concept of random quantum sensing and show how the tools developed
  may be applied to multiple-channel discrimination. As an illustration\, w
 e prove the loss of the quadratic advantage of time-continuous Grover algo
 rithm in presence of dephasing or erasure noise.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.i

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simone Gasparinetti (Chalmers University of Technolo

 s rise to a plethora of exotic light-matter interactions. In particular\, 
 photonic lattices can seed long-lived atom-photon bound states inside phot
 onic band gaps. We report on the implementation of a novel microwave archi
 tecture consisting of an array of high-impedance superconducting resonator
 s forming a 1 GHz-wide pass band\, in which we have embedded two frequency
 -tuneable artificial atoms. We study the atom-field interaction and access
  previously unexplored coupling regimes\, in both the single- and double-e
 xcitation subspace. In addition\, we demonstrate coherent interactions bet
 ween two atom-photon bound states\, in both resonant and dispersive regime
 s. The presented architecture holds promise for quantum simulation with tu
 neable-range interactions and experiments in nonlinear photon transport. R

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Filippo Caruso (Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia\

 here nowadays machine learning is going to meet quantum information scienc
 e in order to realize more powerful quantum technologies. In particular\, 
 several QML schemes can arise according to the fact that the data to be pr
 ocessed and the algorithm processing them can be either classical or quant
 um. Moreover\, the learning algorithms can be unsupervised\, supervised an
 d goal-oriented (reinforcement learning). Here\, we will discuss our recen
 t theoretical and experimental results focusing on quantum embedding\, qua
 ntum state discrimination\, noise sensing\, quantum generative adversarial
  networks\, and quantum reinforcement learning. QML is expected to provide
  huge advantages over its classical counterpart\, and deeper investigation

 iscuss two experimental results on the problem of quantum estimation appli
 ed to functions. We illustrate quantum function estimation of the phase re
 sponse of a liquid crystal employing both quantum and classical resources\
 , providing evidence of the superiority of the former strategy. Including 
 function estimation in the toolkit of quantum metrology opens up opportuni
 ties for quantum enhancement in problems such as evaluating time-dependent
  signals and mapping fields. The second experiment concerns semiparametric
  methods applied to the frequency two-photon wavefunction\, based on Hong-
 Ou-Mandel interferometry. Tools from classical statistics and quantum esti
 mation have shown their usefulness in analysing and engineering metrologic
 al schemes based on Hong-Ou-Mandel interference: we expect that advanced s
 tatistical methods will bring further insights.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it

  in a transmon configuration. Moreover\, digital control based on classica
 l superconducting ultra-low power electronics is being adapted to perform 
 qubit control and readout for scalable architectures in this linked digita

 constituting a phase-readout protocol for a superconducting qubit.\n\nhttp

 anglement. This could be extended to generate multi-photon entangled state
 s\, which are building blocks for quantum technologies such as measurement
 -based quantum computing.\nIn this work\, we exploit a phonon-assisted\, o
 ff-resonant excitation scheme that enables access to the polarization degr

 ngle-photon generation and high purity. We demonstrate that we can address
  the spin-selective transitions\, observing the Larmor precession of a sin

 and coherently manipulated. Ultracold gases\, instead\, provide large atom
 ic samples where trapping potentials and interactions are controlled exter
 nally\, making them well suited for systematic studies of many-body quantu
 m phenomena. An atom-ion hybrid system brings together the advantages of e
 ach physical system and provides an ideal platform to investigate fundamen
 tal quantum mechanics\, like localized impurities in a Fermi gas. Here we 
 present the first step towards the realization of such hybrid system: the 
 trapping of Ba ions\, together with the current state of advancement of th

 tions\, with no assumptions on the apparatus (device-independently). This 
 talk will present two demonstrations of this approach\, applied to instrum
 ental processes and experimentally implemented on photonic platforms. Firs
 tly\, nonclassical correlations will be revealed through the violation of 
 an inequality constraint and used to bound the randomness of a bit string.
  Then\, a novel and more general approach will be adopted\, exploiting the
  quantification of causal influence between two variables.\n\nhttps://indi

 presence of genuine multipartite nonlocality between all parties. The resu

 in the presence of unitary dynamics\, the two topological phases are separ
 ated by a sub-volume scaling region and that the transition universality c

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Francesco Pepe ()\nThe decay of an unstable system i
 s usually described by an exponential law. However\, quantum mechanics gen
 erally predicts deviations from the exponential at both short and long tim
 es. The latter case\, in which a power-law decay is predicted\, is particu
 larly elusive\, as its onset commonly occurs when the survival probability
  is heavily depleted. We describe a hopping model on a semi-infinite array
 \, in which a power-law quantum decay can be observed. We report the exper
 imental observation non-exponential decay dynamics\, including power-law r
 egimes\, in arrays of parallel single-mode optical waveguides\, fabricated
  by femtosecond laser direct inscription. We finally comment on the featur
 es of state propagation in the array\, highlighting the behavior of wavefr
 onts.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/52/contributions/393/

 dividual addressability and has prompted diverse\, discordant definitions 
 of entanglement. I will present a formulatiom of emtamglement in terms of 
 correlation functions\, that provides a general setting to discuss non-loc

 t corresponds to non-local correlations\; ii) when\, by "freezing" suitabl
 e degrees of freedom\, identical particles can be effectively distinguishe
 d\, entanglement must reduce to the standard notion\; iii) entanglement is
  a resource for quantum information protocols. These requests are satisfie

 oise by a procedure suitably exploiting spatial indistinguishability of id
 entical subsystems. To this purpose\, we take two initially separated and 
 entangled identical qubits interacting with two independent noisy environm
 ents. Three typical models of environments are considered: the amplitude d
 amping channel\, the phase damping channel and the depolarizing channel. A
 fter the interaction\, we deform the qubits wave functions to make them sp
 atially overlap before performing spatially localized operations and class
 ical communication (sLOCC). By computing the concurrence of the resulting 
 state we show that this protocol partially recovers the spoiled entangleme
 nt thanks to the induced spatial indistinguishability. A general behavior 
 emerges: the higher the indistinguishability achieved\, the larger the amo
 unt of recovered correlations.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/52/contrib

 \nAll-optical quantum teleportation relies on properties of entangled stat
 es that\, in the prospect of operation in quantum networks\, should be enc
 oded on photon pairs on demand. Quantum dots are a promising solution\, as
  shown in recent multi-photon experiments [1].\nHere\, we demonstrate quan
 tum teleportation with quantum dot photons achieving improved protocol fid
 elity [2]. The experimental results are predicted based on entanglement fi
 delity and photon indistinguishability. The Bell state measurement impleme
 ntation and spectral filtering are investigated within the same model. Fin
 ally\, we envision the next steps towards realization with remote nodes.\n
