项目摘要

Quantum information is the study of what quantum mechanics means as a theory of information. Striking, but still incompletely understood, features of the theory include the uncertainty principle, entanglement, quantum cryptography and quantum computing. The first part of the proposed research will tackle core questions in quantum information theory that have been barriers to its wider applicability. For example: to what extent can the "monogamy" (or non-shareability) of quantum entanglement be used to distinguish it from classical correlation? What does it mean for information in a system to be contained in its short-range or long-range degrees of freedom?The second part of this research will extend the reach of quantum information theory by developing applications in condensed-matter physics, optimization algorithms and other areas of math and physics. Through progress on the core problems above, this research hopes to develop better simulations of quantum systems, better understanding of how entanglement functions in many-body physics and new algorithms for hard optimization problems. These tools are expected to be of use not only to researchers in quantum information, but to a wide range of physicists and computer scientists. This research will be done together with a graduate student, who will learn techniques from physics, computer science and mathematics. Additionally, related topics will be integrated into undergraduate teaching.

量子信息是量子力学作为信息理论的研究。该理论的特征包括不确定性原理，纠缠，量子密码学和量子计算。拟议的研究的第一部分将解决量子信息理论中的核心问题，这是其更广泛适用性的障碍。例如：使用量子纠缠的“一夫一妻制”（或非共享性）在多大程度上可以用来区分经典相关性？系统中的信息在其短期或远程自由度中包含在系统中是什么意思？这项研究的第二部分将通过在凝结物理学，优化算法和其他数学和物理学领域中开发应用来扩展量子信息理论的覆盖范围。通过上述核心问题的进展，这项研究希望对量子系统进行更好的模拟，更好地理解多体物理学中的纠缠功能以及用于硬优化问题的新算法。预计这些工具不仅可以用于量子信息中的研究人员，还可以用于广泛的物理学家和计算机科学家。这项研究将与研究生一起完成，他们将从物理，计算机科学和数学中学习技术。此外，相关主题将集成到本科教学中。
