Quantum fingerprinting
Classical fingerprinting associates with each string a shorter string (its
fingerprint), such that, with high probability, any two distinct strings can be
distinguished by comparing their fingerprints alone. The fingerprints can be
exponentially smaller than the original strings if the parties preparing the
fingerprints share a random key, but not if they only have access to
uncorrelated random sources. In this paper we show that fingerprints consisting
of quantum information can be made exponentially smaller than the original
strings without any correlations or entanglement between the parties: we give a
scheme where the quantum fingerprints are exponentially shorter than the
original strings and we give a test that distinguishes any two unknown quantum
fingerprints with high probability. Our scheme implies an exponential
quantum/classical gap for the equality problem in the simultaneous message
passing model of communication complexity. We optimize several aspects of our
scheme.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, one figur
Star-forming Blue ETGs in Two Newly Discovered Galaxy Overdensities in the HUDF at z=1.84 and 1.9: Unveiling the Progenitors of Passive ETGs in Cluster Cores
We present the discovery of two galaxy overdensities in the Hubble Space Telescope UDF: a proto-cluster, HUDFJ0332.4-2746.6 at z=1.84 ± 0.01, and a group, HUDFJ0332.5-2747.3 at z=1.90 ± 0.01. Assuming viralization, the velocity dispersion of HUDFJ0332.4-2746.6 implies a mass of M_(200) = (2.2 ± 1.8) x 10^(14) M_☉, consistent with the lack of extended X-ray emission. Neither overdensity shows evidence of a red sequence. About of their members show interactions and/or disturbed morphologies, which are signatures of merger remnants or disk instability. Most of their ETGs have blue colors and show recent star formation. These observations reveal for the first time large fractions of spectroscopically confirmed star-forming blue ETGs in proto-clusters at ≈ z. These star-forming ETGs are most likely among the progenitors of the quiescent population in clusters at more recent epochs. Their mass–size relation is consistent with that of passive ETGs in clusters at z ~ 0.7-1.5. If these galaxies are the progenitors of cluster ETGs at these lower redshifts, their size would evolve according to a similar mass-size relation. It is noteworthy that quiescent ETGs in clusters at z = 1.8-2 also do not show any significant size evolution over this redshift range, contrary to field ETGs. The ETG fraction is ≾50%, compared to the typical quiescent ETG fraction of ≈80% in cluster cores at z < 1. The fraction, masses, and colors of the newly discovered ETGs imply that other cluster ETGs will be formed/accreted at a later time
Non-locality and Communication Complexity
Quantum information processing is the emerging field that defines and
realizes computing devices that make use of quantum mechanical principles, like
the superposition principle, entanglement, and interference. In this review we
study the information counterpart of computing. The abstract form of the
distributed computing setting is called communication complexity. It studies
the amount of information, in terms of bits or in our case qubits, that two
spatially separated computing devices need to exchange in order to perform some
computational task. Surprisingly, quantum mechanics can be used to obtain
dramatic advantages for such tasks.
We review the area of quantum communication complexity, and show how it
connects the foundational physics questions regarding non-locality with those
of communication complexity studied in theoretical computer science. The first
examples exhibiting the advantage of the use of qubits in distributed
information-processing tasks were based on non-locality tests. However, by now
the field has produced strong and interesting quantum protocols and algorithms
of its own that demonstrate that entanglement, although it cannot be used to
replace communication, can be used to reduce the communication exponentially.
In turn, these new advances yield a new outlook on the foundations of physics,
and could even yield new proposals for experiments that test the foundations of
physics.Comment: Survey paper, 63 pages LaTeX. A reformatted version will appear in

A CANDELS WFC3 Grism Study of Emission-Line Galaxies at z~2: A Mix of Nuclear Activity and Low-Metallicity Star Formation
We present Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 slitless grism
spectroscopy of 28 emission-line galaxies at z~2, in the GOODS-S region of the
Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS). The
high sensitivity of these grism observations, with 1-sigma detections of
emission lines to f > 2.5x10^{-18} erg/s/cm^2, means that the galaxies in the
sample are typically ~7 times less massive (median M_* = 10^{9.5} M_sun) than
previously studied z~2 emission-line galaxies. Despite their lower mass, the
galaxies have OIII/Hb ratios which are very similar to previously studied z~2
galaxies and much higher than the typical emission-line ratios of local
galaxies. The WFC3 grism allows for unique studies of spatial gradients in
emission lines, and we stack the two-dimensional spectra of the galaxies for
this purpose. In the stacked data the OIII emission line is more spatially
concentrated than the Hb emission line with 98.1 confidence. We additionally
stack the X-ray data (all sources are individually undetected), and find that
the average L(OIII)/L(0.5-10 keV) ratio is intermediate between typical z~0
obscured active galaxies and star-forming galaxies. Together the compactness of
the stacked OIII spatial profile and the stacked X-ray data suggest that at
least some of these low-mass, low-metallicity galaxies harbor weak active
galactic nuclei.Comment: ApJ accepted. 8 pages, 6 figure
