Operatoralgebraische Methoden in der Quanteninformationstheorie

What it is about

You will learn central operator-algebraic methods used in quantum information theory. After the module you can understand and apply basic concepts of quantum mechanics, channels and entropy, and you can independently read and present current research results.

What you will be able to do

• Explain and apply basic concepts of quantum mechanics, measurement and states
• Explain the historical connection between quantum channels and operator algebras
• Formulate and analyze the concept of entropy in the context of information transmission
• Analyze problems of quantum information theory from probabilistic aspects
• Independently read, understand and present a research paper on the topic
• Prove inequalities between different entropic quantities

What the module consists of

• VorlesungDelivery of the fundamentals from quantum mechanics, Banach space theory, channels and entropy
• Übung/PräsentationenDiscussion, exercises and student presentations on research texts

Teaching method

• Vorlesung mit Blackboard-PräsentationProvision of background knowledge in the first course phase
• Übungsaufgaben und DiskussionConsolidation of the material and discussion of problems
• Studentische Lektüre und PräsentationenIncrease in discussion share and independent engagement with research texts
