Quantum information with continouos variables

Introduction to the mathematics of quantum theory Bosonic quantum Gaussian systems Wigner quasiprobability distribution and Husimi Q representation Symplectic group and Gaussian unitary dynamics Noisy dynamics: quantum Gaussian channels Quantum communication with continuous variables Quantum phase estimation with continuous variables Quantum algorithm for linear systems of equations

Physical Sciences

The aim of the course is to provide the students with theoretical knowledge of the main continuous variable protocols in quantum communication and quantum computing and with the means to start their own research project in the area

at least a Bachelor in Mathematics, Phtsics and related disciplines. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics is assumed. Familiarity with liner algebra and Hilbert spaces is suggested.
