Objectives

  • To know how to estimate the coupling between a source and its environment.
  • and how to make to most of it in experiments and in their design.
  • To know what an entangled state is and to know different experimental schemes of applications.
  • To know the differences between entropy in the sense of Shannon and that in the sense of Von Neumann.
  • To know the fundamental principles for entering the scientific literature of quantum information processing and to know the fundamental experiments.

Description

  • Source/field coupling and consequences: (Weisskopf-Wigner theory, Dipole/EM coupling, Purcell effect).
  • Intricacies: Definition, examples and applications
  • Quantum information processing (Introduction to classical and quantum information theory, Quantum communication, Quantum computing)
