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 ...
