A novel kinetic beam scheme for the ideal quantum gas is presented for the computation of quantum gas dynamical flows. The quantum Boltzmann equation approach is adopted and the local thermodynamic equilibrium quantum distribution is assumed. Both Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac gases are considered. Formulae for one spatial dimension is first derived and the resulting beam scheme is tested for shock tube flows. Implementation of high-order methods is also outlined. We only consider the system in the normal phase consisting of particles in excited states and both the classical limit and the nearly degenerate limit are computed. The flow structures can all be accurately captured by the present beam scheme. Formulations for multiple spatial dimensions are also included.

The work of Holevo and other pioneers of quantum information theory has given us limits on the performance of communication systems. Only recently, however, have we been able to perform laboratory demonstrations approaching the ideal quantum limit. This article presents some of the known limits and bounds together with the results of our experiments based on optical polarisation.

Quantum reading is the art of exploiting the quantum properties of light to retrieve classical information stored in an optical memory with low energy and high accuracy. Focusing on the ideal scenario where noise and loss are negligible, we review previous works on the optimal strategies for minimal-error retrieving of information (ambiguous quantum reading) and perfect but probabilistic retrieving of information (unambiguous quantum reading). The optimal strategies largely overcome the optimal coherent protocols (reminiscent of common CD readers), further allowing for perfect discrimination. Experimental proposals for optical implementations of optimal quantum reading are provided.
