Responsible coordinator of the module PH1379 is Ignacio Cirac.
Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The seminar will include the following topics: 1) Quantum information theory: entanglement, quantum computation, quantum operations, etc. 2) Physical realization of quantum information processors: using quantum optics or condensed matter systems 3) Description of many-body quantum systems with quantum information tools: ground states of Hamiltonians, dynamics.
Learning Outcome
After successful participation in the module the student can
use the basic methods of literature retrieval, condense their knowlegde from scientific papers into a presentation and obtain presentation skills.
They have learned about relevant topics of research in the field quantum information theory.
