INVITED: Demonstrating quantum advantage with practical photonic systems
11:10 - 11:40
The goal of demonstrating a quantum advantage with currently available technology is an outstanding challenge in quantum information science. Here we discuss examples of such rigorous demonstration of advantage in security and communication efficiency due to the use of quantum resources for useful applications in the context of quantum networks, including quantum cryptographic tasks beyond key distribution and quantum communication complexity. This requires devising novel protocols amenable to experimental implementations, which typically involve encoding in properties of coherent states of light, linear optic circuits and single-photon detection. We further discuss the extension of our results in quantum
