A semidefinite program (SDP) is a particular kind of convex optimization problem with applications in operations research, combinatorial optimization, quantum information science, and beyond. In this work, we propose variational quantum algorithms for approximately solving SDPs. For one class of SDPs, we provide a rigorous analysis of their converg...

Bell non-locality and steering are archetypal characteristics of quantum mechanics that mark a significant departure from conventional classical notions. They basically refer to the presence of quantum correlations between separated systems which violate a non-local inequality, the violation otherwise is not possible if we restrict ourselves only t...

Entropy measures quantify the amount of information and correlation present in a quantum system. In practice, when the quantum state is unknown and only copies thereof are available, one must resort to the estimation of such entropy measures. Here we propose a variational quantum algorithm for estimating the von Neumann and Rényi entropies, as well...

In this paper, we investigate the problem of simulating open system dynamics governed by the well-known Lindblad master equation. In our prequel paper [Patel and Wilde, Open Sys. & Info. Dyn., 30:2350010 (2023)], we introduced an input model in which Lindblad operators are encoded into pure quantum states, called program states, and we also introdu...

Density Matrix Exponentiation is a technique for simulating Hamiltonian dynamics when the Hamiltonian to be simulated is available as a quantum state. In this paper, we present a natural analogue to this technique, for simulating Markovian dynamics governed by the well known Lindblad master equation. For this purpose, we first propose an input mode...

It is well known that it is impossible to clone an arbitrary quantum state. However, this inability does not lead directly to no cloning of quantum coherence. Here, in this article, we show that it is impossible to clone the coherence of an arbitrary quantum state. In particular, with an ancillary system as machine state, we show that it is impossi...

Quantum mechanical properties like entanglement, discord, and coherence act as fundamental resources in various quantum information processing tasks. Consequently, the technique of generating more resources from a few, typically termed as broadcasting, serves as a promising candidate for the design of quantum networks. One way to broadcast resource...

Bell non-locality and steering are essential features of quantum mechanics which mark significant departures from classical notion. They basically refer to the presence of quantum correlations between separated systems which violate a non-local inequality, the violation being not possible if we restrict ourselves only to classical correlations. In...

In quantum information theory, entanglement, other bipartite correlation and coherence can act as a resource for a wide range of tasks. Hence broadcasting more number of resource states from a given pair is a process of utmost importance. In this article, we investigate to broadcast resources beyond $2 \otimes 2$ systems. In particular, for $2 \oti...

It is well known that it is impossible to clone an arbitrary quantum state. However, this inability does not lead directly to no-cloning of quantum coherence. Here, we show that it is impossible to clone the coherence of an arbitrary quantum state which is a stronger statement than the 'no-cloning of quantum state'. In particular, with ancillary sy...
