Volume 2022/2023
Education
MSc Programme in Mathematics
MSc Programme in Mathematics with a minor subject
Content
The purpose of this course is to give the analytic background behind quantum information theory in the framework of operators on Hilbert spaces and functional analysis, including the following topics:
- completely positive and completely bounded maps
- operator systems and spaces
- Choi representation and Kraus operators
- Stinespring's representation theorem
- tensor products
- quantum measurements and related sets of correlations
- entanglement
- Schmidt decompositions
- factorizable channels and applications in quantum information theory
Learning Outcome
After completing the course the student will have:
knowledge about the subjects mentioned in
the description of the content,
skills to solve problems concerning the
material covered, and
the following competences:
- understand and master the functional analytic approach to quantum information theory,
- be able to work rigorously with the concepts taught in the course,
- use analysis tools to study and solve concrete problems in quantum information theory.
Literature
Lecture notes and/or textbook.
