Extended Creativity: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Human-AI Creative Relations
Artificial Intelligence holds significant potential to enhance human creativity. However, achieving this vision requires a clearer understanding of how such enhancement can be effectively realized. Adopting the perspective of distributed creativity, we identify three primary modes through which AI can contribute to creative processes: Support, where AI acts as a tool; Synergy, where AI and humans collaborate in complementary ways; and Symbiosis, where human and AI cognition become so integrated…

Certifying asymmetry in the configuration of three qubits
We certify asymmetry in the configuration of the Bloch vectors of a set of three unknown qubit states within the dimensionally bounded prepare-and-measure scenario. To do this, we construct a linear witness from three simpler witnesses as building blocks, each featuring, along with two binary measurement settings, three preparations; two of them are associated with the certification task, while the third one serves as an auxiliary. The final witness is chosen to self-test some target configurat…

Certification of quantum networks using the generalised Choi isomorphism
We present a framework for certifying entanglement properties of quantum states and measurements in line networks. The framework is based on the generalised Choi isomorphism, which can be used to map bipartite states and measurements into corresponding quantum operations. We apply the method to networks with trusted end points to demonstrate the power of the approach. We derive bounds for common convex geometric entanglement quantifiers of individual source states, as well as for the network as…
