Some updates from the past 10 months…

1. Papers published
   • Dynamically reconfigurable sources for arbitrary Gaussian states in integrated photonics circuits
     My first Optics Express. I wrote about it in my previous blog post.
   • Entanglement enhancement in multimode integrated circuits 
     Work with Zacharie Léger in Amr Helmy’s group. Zach simulated an entanglement enhancement protocol for multimode squeezed states.  One surprising result was realizing that the optimal protocols are not extremely demanding in terms of resources.   arXiv:1803.05981
   • “Quantumness” versus “classicality” of quantum states and quantum protocols This is an updated version of a very nice, but overlooked 2007 arXiv preprint written by  Berry Groisman, Dan Kenigsberg and Tal Mor, which has never been published.  I helped bring it up to date and added a few new results (author list is alphabetical).
2. Preprint: Weak values and neoclassical realism
   My first paper with the Steinberg group is hardcore foundations.  Not only do we use the word ontology throughout the manuscript, we analyse an experiment using a theory which we know is not physical. Still, we get some nice insights about weak values.
