Special Many Body Seminar
in 435 Physics
Speaker: Prof. Raymond Bishop, University of Manchester
Subject: Thermal and More General Mixed Coherent States for Open Systems and Quantum Information Theory
A complete formulation of quantum information theory must simultaneously take into account at least three important concepts or principles, namely: (a) quantum entanglement, (b) quantum coherence versus decoherence (i.e., in the presence of dissipation), and (c) the quantum-classical limit (or quantum-classical interface). We discuss how the mixed coherent states that we have introduced can provide a valuable tool in implementing these ideas.
