| Location | QNC 1201 |
| Time and day | Tuesday, Thursday, 1:00-2:20pm |
Description
This course focuses on various properties of entangled quantum states from an operational quantum information perspective, such as nonlocal correlations, and how they can be used in protocols to certify entangled states.
The intended audience is graduate students at the Masters or PhD level who have previously taken an introductory course in quantum computation.
Outline
The course will cover the following topics (where the order and number of lectures devoted to each topic may vary):
-
The CHSH game, other so-called XOR games, and characterizations of their entangled strategies. Rigidity of CHSH and its tilted version.
-
The magic square game, other constraint system games, and characterizations of their entangled strategies. The commuting operator model of entanglement.
-
Additional topics, such as the notion of entanglement “embezzlement” and entangled states defined in terms of abstract states on C*-algebras.
Reference material
Various documents available on-line, to be provided by the instructor.
Grading
The course grade will be based 80% on assignments and 20% on a final project presentation on a relevant topic chosen by the student.
