  • A Quantum Paradox of Choice: More Freedom Makes Summoning a Quantum State Harder 

    Adlam, Emily; Kent, Adrian Patrick (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review A, 2016)
    The properties of quantum information in space-time can be investigated by studying operational tasks, such as ‘summoning’, in which an unknown quantum state is supplied at one point, and a call is made at another for it ...

  • Are there testable discrete Poincaré invariant physical theories? 

    Kent, Adrian Patrick (IOP PublishingClassical and Quantum Gravity, 2018-09-05)
    In a model of physics taking place on a discrete set of points that approximates Minkowski space, one might perhaps expect there to be an empirically identifiable preferred frame. However, the work of Dowker et al (2004 ...

  • Quantum reality via late-time photodetection 

    Kent, Adrian Patrick (APSPhysical Review A, 2017-12-18)
    We further investigate postulates for realist versions of r elativistic quantum theory and quantum field theory in Minkowski space and other background space-t imes. According to these postulates, quantum theory is ...

  • Secure quantum signatures using insecure quantum channels 

    Amiri, Ryan; Wallden, Petros; Kent, Adrian Patrick; Andersson, Erika (American Physical SocietyPhysical Review A, 2016-03-17)
    Digital signatures are widely used in modern communication to guarantee authenticity and transferability of messages. The security of currently used classical schemes relies on computational assumptions. We present a quantum ...

  • The grasshopper problem. 

    Goulko, Olga; Kent, Adrian Patrick (Royal Society of LondonProceedings. Mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences, 2017-11-22)
    We introduce and physically motivate the following problem in geometric combinatorics, originally inspired by analysing Bell inequalities. A grasshopper lands at a random point on a planar lawn of area 1. It then jumps ...
