We present further progress, in the form of analytical results, on the Wigner entropy conjecture set forth by Van Herstraeten and Cerf [Phys. Rev. A 104, 042211 (2021)] and Hertz et al. [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50, 385301 (2017)]. Said conjecture asserts that the differential entropy defined for non-negative, yet physical, Wigner functions is minimized by pure Gaussian states while the minimum entropy is equal to 1+lnπ. We prove this conjecture for the qubits formed by Fock states |0〉 and |1〉 that correspond to non-negative Wigner functions. In particular, we derive an explicit form of the Wigner entropy for those states lying on the boundary of the set of Wigner non-negative qubits. We then consider general mixed states and derive a sufficient condition for the conjecture's validity. Lastly, we elaborate on the states which are in accordance with our condition.

The cortico-spinal neural pathway is fundamental for motor control and movement execution, and in humans it is typically studied using concurrent electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) recordings. However, current approaches for capturing high-level and contextual connectivity between these recordings have important limitations. Here, we present a novel application of statistical dependence estimators based on orthonormal decomposition of density ratios to model the relationship between cortical and muscle oscillations. Our method extends from traditional scalar-valued measures by learning eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and projection spaces of density ratios from realizations of the signal, addressing the interpretability, scalability, and local temporal dependence of cortico-muscular connectivity. We experimentally demonstrate that eigenfunctions learned from cortico-muscular connectivity can accurately classify movements and subjects. Moreover, they reveal channel and temporal dependencies that confirm the activation of specific EEG channels during movement.

Beam-displacement measurements are widely used in optical sensing and communications; however, their performance is affected by numerous intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including beam profile, propagation loss, and receiver architecture. Here we present a framework for designing a classically optimal beam-displacement transceiver, using quantum estimation theory. We consider the canonical task of estimating the position of a diffraction-limited laser beam after passing through an apertured volume characterized by Fresnel-number product DF. As a rule of thumb, higher-order Gaussian modes provide more information about beam displacement, but are more sensitive to loss. Applying quantum Fisher information, we design mode combinations that optimally leverage this trade-off, and show that a greater than tenfold improvement in precision is possible, relative to the fundamental mode, for a practically relevant DF=100. We also show that this improvement is realizable with a variety of practical receiver architectures. Our findings extend previous works on lossless transceivers, may have immediate impact on applications, such as atomic force microscopy and near-field optical communication, and pave the way towards globally optimal transceivers using nonclassical laser fields.

This paper deals with the optimal control of electric and automated buses that have to follow an intercity line, where some stops are equipped with a flash-charging infrastructure to charge the batteries, while others are not. In order to control these buses, it is necessary to account for the traffic conditions along the roads of the bus line, and to minimize two objectives related to the deviations from the bus timetable and the lack of energy, at the end of the bus trip, with respect to a desired final energy level. The resulting optimal control problem is a multi-objective linear quadratic problem with both continuous and integer variables. In this paper, we propose and apply two methods based on lexicographic ordering aimed at determining the Pareto-optimal solutions of the control problem in twelve scenarios inspired by a real case.
