We introduce a method for performing universal quantum computation on quantum states shared according to general access structures. This generalizes recent attempts for doing quantum computation on $(n,n)$ threshold schemes. In a general access structure certain authorized subsets, depending on their weights, can retrieve a secret shared state, and...

A quantum network consists of independent sources distributing entangled states to distant nodes which can then perform entangled measurements, thus establishing correlations across the entire network. But how strong can these correlations be? Here we address this question, by deriving bounds on possible quantum correlations in a given network. The...

Quantum networks allow in principle for completely novel forms of quantum correlations. In particular, quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated here without the need of having various input settings, but only by considering the joint statistics of fixed local measurement outputs. However, previous examples of this intriguing phenomenon all appear to...

Decentralized stochastic optimization methods have gained a lot of attention recently, mainly because of their cheap per iteration cost, data locality, and their communication-efficiency. In this paper we introduce a unified convergence analysis that covers a large variety of decentralized SGD methods which so far have required different intuitions...

We discuss Bell nonlocality in quantum networks with unreliable sources. Our main result is a condition on the observed data which ensures that inconclusive events can be safely discarded, without introducing any loophole. More formally, we characterize the fair-sampling property for measurements in a network. When all measurements are fair-samplin...

We discuss quantum network Bell nonlocality in a setting where the network structure is not fully known. More concretely, an honest user may trust their local network topology, but not the structure of the rest of the network, involving distant (and potentially dishonest) parties. We demonstrate that quantum network nonlocality can still be demonst...

Quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated without inputs (i.e., each party using a fixed measurement setting) in a network with independent sources. Here we consider this effect on ring networks, and show that the underlying quantum strategy can be partially characterized, or self-tested, from observed correlations. Applying these results to the tria...

The network scenario offers interesting new perspectives on the phenomenon of quantum nonlocality. Notably, when considering networks with independent sources, it is possible to demonstrate quantum nonlocality without the need for measurement inputs, i.e., with all parties performing a fixed quantum measurement. Here we aim to find minimal examples...

Quantum secret sharing is a method for sharing a secret quantum state among a number of individuals such that certain authorized subsets of participants can recover the secret shared state by collaboration and other subsets cannot. In this paper, we first propose a method for sharing a quantum secret in a basic $(2,3)$ threshold scheme, only by usi...
