Experimental test of Heisenberg`s measurement uncertainty relation
... Recently, Busch, Lahti, and Werner (BLW) formulated uncertainty relations dealing with the imprecisions in joint measurements approximating incompatible observables [32, 33, 36]. The imprecisions or uncertainties, based on statistical distances between probability distributions of measurement outcom ...

Practical Quantum Coin Flipping
... practical aspects, like multi-photon pulses, channel noise, system loss, detector dark counts and finite quantum efficiency, affect the honest abort and cheating probability. We prove that for a single coin flip, if the noise is up to 2% and for channel length up to 21km, we can achieve at the same ...

Quantum teleportation
Quantum teleportation is a process by which quantum information (e.g. the exact state of an atom or photon) can be transmitted (exactly, in principle) from one location to another, with the help of classical communication and previously shared quantum entanglement between the sending and receiving location. Because it depends on classical communication, which can proceed no faster than the speed of light, it cannot be used for faster-than-light transport or communication of classical bits. It also cannot be used to make copies of a system, as this violates the no-cloning theorem. While it has proven possible to teleport one or more qubits of information between two (entangled) atoms, this has not yet been achieved between molecules or anything larger.Although the name is inspired by the teleportation commonly used in fiction, there is no relationship outside the name, because quantum teleportation concerns only the transfer of information. Quantum teleportation is not a form of transportation, but of communication; it provides a way of transporting a qubit from one location to another, without having to move a physical particle along with it.The seminal paper first expounding the idea was published by C. H. Bennett, G. Brassard, C. Crépeau, R. Jozsa, A. Peres and W. K. Wootters in 1993. Since then, quantum teleportation was first realized with single photons and later demonstrated with various material systems such as atoms, ions, electrons and superconducting circuits. The record distance for quantum teleportation is 143 km (89 mi).
