Quantum Measurement
Lecture details
The summer semester is held as a digital semester. In principle, as agreed by the universities in North Rhine-Westphalia, all courses that can be offered remotely will take place online for the entire summer semester.
The lecture will be given by Prof. Di Vincenzo.
Description:
Quantum measurement will be examined, both from a foundational perspective, and from the perspective of applications in quantum information processing. Specific topics include:
- Basic theory of partial measurement -- Kraus and superoperator representations
- Charge measurements in quantum computing
- Dispersive measurements in quantum computing
- Amplification, quantum and classical
- Continuous measurements -- the stochastic calculus
- Measurements of the vacuum -- entanglement in the vacuum
- Quantum Darwinism
Prerequisites:
Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory at the advanced bachelor level.
Learning goal:
The students can increase the basic understanding of quantum measurements and extend their knowledge of quantum information theory. The students can apply the theoretical concepts to the real present-day laboratory quantum measurements. The students can master the theoretical skills for application in the research work.
