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 ...
