Quantum Information & Dynamics - WMM9AM88

Goal(s)

The goal of these lectures is to provide a mathematical description of the quantum formalism in finite dimension and to introduce the mathematical concepts and tools required for the analysis of such quantum systems and their dynamics. On the one hand, we will study the key aspects of quantum information theory. On the other hand, we will describe certain properties of quantum dynamics that need to be taken into account in the implementation of quantum algorithms and that will be applied to emblematic systems. The interaction with an external classical electromagnetic field will also be considered both from a theoretical and a numerical point of view.
