QSEG 851 - Advanced Topics in Quantum Information

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Description:

Introduces the essential concepts and tools of theoretical quantum information science research. The course begins with discussing foundational concepts in classical information theory, such as the connection between probability, information, and entropy. Quantum concepts will be introduced starting with the density operator formalism and measurement operators outlining the backaction of the measurement process. The mathematical formalism for entanglement using tensor products will be introduced with emphasis on bipartite systems. After introducing these pure states, the Master equation formalism for treating open quantum systems will be discussed. Finally, the connection between classical and quantum information theory will be established by introducing von Neumann entropy and related concepts.
