  Gütschow, Johannes; Uphoff, Sonja; Werner, Reinhard F.; Zimborás, Zoltán (College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2010)

  We consider Clifford quantum cellular automata (CQCAs) and their time-evolution. CQCAs are an especially simple type of quantum cellular automata, yet they show complex asymptotics and can even be a basic ingredient for ...
• Maximal violation of Bell inequalities by position measurements 

  Kiukas, J.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2010)

  We show that it is possible to find maximal violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality using only position measurements on a pair of entangled nonrelativistic free particles. The device settings ...
• Quantum Walks with Nonorthogonal Position States 

  Matjeschk, R.; Ahlbrecht, A.; Enderlein, M.; Cedzich, Ch.; Werner, A.H.; Keyl, M.; Schaetz, T.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2012)

  Quantum walks have by now been realized in a large variety of different physical settings. In some of these, particularly with trapped ions, the walk is implemented in phase space, where the corresponding position states ...
• Strong Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entanglement from a single squeezed light source 

  Eberle, Tobias; Händchen, Vitus; Duhme, Jörg; Franz,Torsten; Werner, Reinhard F.; Schnabel, Roman (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2011)

  Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) entanglement is a criterion that is more demanding than just certifying entanglement. We theoretically and experimentally analyze the low-resource generation of bipartite continuous-variable ...
• Extremal Quantum Correlations and Cryptographic Security 

  Franz, T.; Furrer, F.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2011)

  We investigate a fundamental property of device-independent security in quantum cryptography by characterizing probability distributions which are necessarily independent of the measurement results of any eavesdropper. We ...
• Connes' embedding problem and Tsirelson's problem 

  Junge, M.; Navascues, M.; Palazuelos, C.; Perez-Garcia, D.; Scholz, V. B.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2011)

  We show that Tsirelson's problem concerning the set of quantum correlations and Connes' embedding problem on finite approximations in von Neumann algebras (known to be equivalent to Kirchberg's QWEP conjecture) are essentially ...
• Quantum Cryptography as a Retrodiction Problem 

  Werner, A. H.; Franz, T.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2009)

  We propose a quantum key distribution protocol based on a quantum retrodiction protocol, known as the Mean King problem. The protocol uses a two way quantum channel. We show security against coherent attacks in a ...
• Measurement uncertainty relations. 

  Busch, Paul; Lahti, Pekka; Werner, Reinhard F. (College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2014)

  Measurement uncertainty relations are quantitative bounds on the errors in an approximate joint measurement of two observables. They can be seen as a generalization of the error/disturbance tradeoff first discussed ...
• Full counting statistics of stationary particle beams 

  Kiukas, J.; Ruschhaupt, A.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2013)

  We present a general theoretical framework for treating particle beams as time-stationary limits of many particle systems. Due to stationarity, the total particle number diverges, and a description in Fock space is no ...
• Propagation of Quantum Walks in Electric Fields 

  Cedzich, C.; Rybár, T.; Werner, A. H.; Alberti, A.; Genske, M.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2013)

  We study one-dimensional quantum walks in a homogenous electric field. The field is given by a phase which depends linearly on position and is applied after each step. The long time propagation properties of this system, ...
• Electric Quantum Walks with Individual Atoms 

  Genske, Maximilian; Alt, Wolfgang; Steffen, Andreas; Werner, Albert H.; Werner, Reinhard F.; Meschede, Dieter; Alberti, Andrea (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2013)

  We report on the experimental realization of electric quantum walks, which mimic the effect of an electric field on a charged particle in a lattice. Starting from a textbook implementation of discrete-time quantum walks, ...

• Proof of Heisenberg's error-disturbance relation 

  Busch, Paul; Lahti,Pekka; Werner, Reinhard F. (College Park, MD : American Physical Society, 2013)

  Kiukas, J.; Lahti, P.; Schultz, J.; Werner, R.F. (College Park, MD : American Institute of Physics, 2012)

  In the nonrelativistic setting with finitely many canonical degrees of freedom, a shift-covariant phase space observable is uniquely characterized by a positive operator of trace one and, in turn, by the Fourier-Weyl ...
