Quantum information theory
Academic: Dr. Sc. Andrii SemenovEduportal course page
In this lecture course, which is a logical continuation of the course “Theoretical Quantum Optics”, you will study about main types of nonclassical correlations in quantum systems and about their applications to protocols of quantum communication. In particular, we will consider quantum entanglement, Bell nonlocality, and related quantum correlations. You will get the knowledge about two main architectures of quantum computational devices and quantum communication protocols: those ones based on discrete and continuous variables. Apart of fundamental knowledge, you will get practical skills for analysis of quantum circuits and security analysis of quantum communication protocols.
