A machine learning ride in the physics theme park: from quantum to biophysics

Requena Pozo, Borja (Date of defense: 2024-04-24)

(English) The integration of artificial intelligence into research is propelling progress and discoveries across the entire scientific landscape. Artificial intelligence tools boost the development of novel scientific ...

Entanglement and non local correlations: quantum resources for information processing

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 Theory to the ...

From quantum foundations to quantum information protocols and back

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, and what is subsequently ...

Hybrid diffuse optics for monitoring of tissue hemodynamics with applications in oncology

Farzam, Parisa (Date of defense: 2014-10-14)

Noninvasive measurement of hemodynamics at the microvascular level may have a great impact on oncology in clinics for diagnosis, therapy planning and monitoring, and, in preclinical studies. To this end, diffuse optics is ...

Investigating quantum many-body systems with tensor networks, machine learning and quantum computers

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 in an unsupervised ...

Quantum information outside quantum information

Pozas Kerstjens, Alejandro (Date of defense: 2019-10-15)

Quantum theory, as counter-intuitive as a theory can get, has turned out to make predictions of the physical world that match observations so precisely that it has been described as the most accurate physical theory ever ...

Quantum many-body physics with ultracold atoms and molecules: exact dynamics and machine learning

Dawid Lekowska, Anna Maria (Date of defense: 2022-09-20)

(English) Quantum many-body physics poses a substantial computational challenge resulting from the exponential growth of the wave function complexity and many non-trivial correlations encoded in it. Studying many-body ...

Resource theories of quantum dynamics

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 advantages in a broad ...

Theoretical models for quantum simulators of novel materials and devices

Salamon, Tymoteusz Piotr (Date of defense: 2024-01-15)

(English) Over the past three decades, optically trapped ultra-cold atoms have served as a versatile platform for controlled exploration of numerous condensed matter phenomena. The successful fabrication of magic angle ...
