Illinois Quantum Computing Summer School (Register Now)
In partnership with the Discovery Partners Institute, we will be hosting a quantum computing school in downtown Chicago, June 17-20. Registration is free, but spots are limited. The school will be aimed at students, post-docs, and faculty with no prior research experience in quantum information. Travel grants are available for students.

Announcing the Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology center (IQUIST)
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has announced a new $15M investment in quantum information science and engineering. The Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology center (IQUIST) is now launching at the University of Illinois, which will include a major hiring initiative, broadened research activities, and new educational opportunities all in the area of quantum information science.

New Bounds on Instantaneous Nonlocal Computation
Replacing Interaction with Entanglement
Alvin and I have recently completed a study of instantaneous nonlocal computation. This is a task – with a somewhat misleading name – that involves simulating a nonlocal quantum gate using pre-shared entanglement and non-interactive entanglement. One prominent application of this task is in quantum position verification, where the spatial coordinates of some individual can be certified using a time-constrained quantum computation. The time constraint prohibits any sort of interactive communication between potential adversaries trying to crack the verification scheme. We show that in general the number of ebits needed for the adversaries to succeed scales proportional to the size of the computation, even when just two ebits would suffice if interactive communication were allowed.
The Zero-Error Entanglement Cost is Highly Non-Additive
Buy one, get \(n-1\) free!
Qiuling and I have recently posted a paper on the arXiv that studies the zero-error entanglement cost its regularized version for maximally correlated bipartite states. Using techniques from the resource theory of coherence, we show that it is possible to generate \(n\) copies of certain entangled states using the same amount of entanglement needed to generated just a single copy.
