Torre Carazo, Gonzalo de la (Date of defense: 2015-09-23)
Physics has two main ambitions: to predict and to understand. Indeed, physics aims for the prediction of all natural phenomena. Prediction entails modeling the correlation between an action, the input, ...
Passaro, Elsa (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)
Quantum information science is a rapidly evolving field both from the theoretical and the experimental viewpoint, motivated by the fact that protocols exploiting quantum resources can perform tasks that ...
Huwer, Jan Henning (Date of defense: 2014-01-29)
One promising approach for future quantum networks is the combination of strings of trapped ions as quantum-information processors with entangled photon pairs produced by spontaneous parametric down ...
Máttar Flores, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2017-10-17)
According to recent estimates, 10^18 bytes of data are generated on a daily basis around the globe. Our information society urges for radical solutions to treat such data deluge. By exploiting fundamental ...
Balanzó Juandó, Maria (Date of defense: 2024-09-12)
(English) In the beginning of the last century, we witnessed a change of paradigm in how physics described the world with the formulation of quantum mechanics. This new theory shook the pillars of science ...
Hsieh, Chung Yun (Date of defense: 2022-10-10)
(English) As one of our most successful theories, quantum theory has greatly strengthened our understanding of nature and significantly advanced technologies. Specifically, quantum effects provide ...
Kottmann, Korbinian Gebhard (Date of defense: 2022-10-14)
(English) We perform quantum simulation on classical and quantum computers and set up a machine learning framework in which we can map out phase diagrams of known and unknown quantum many-body systems ...
Supic, Ivan (Date of defense: 2018-09-19)
The last two decades have been a very fruitful period for the fundamental research related to quantum information theory. Today we have a fairly good understanding of how intrinsically quantum properties ...
Prettico, Giuseppe (Date of defense: 2013-01-18)
Quantum Information Theory (QIT) studies how information can be processed and transmitted when encoded on quantum states. Practically, it can be understood as the effort to generalize Classical Information ...
Dhara, Chirag (Date of defense: 2013-06-12)
Quantum mechanics was developed as a response to the inadequacy of classical physics in explaining certain physical phenomena. While it has proved immensely successful, it also presents several features ...
