Special Many Body Seminar
in 435 Physics
Speaker: Raymond Bishop, University of Manchester
Subject: Journeys to and in quantum phase space: extended quantum phase space formulations of Quantum Many Body Theory and Quantum Information Theory
A complete description of quantum information theory needs to incorporate simultaneously 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 concept of quantum phase space can be enlarged to provide just such a unified and consistent description.
