Quantum measurement theory applies the laws of quantum mechanics jointly to the quantum system and the measuring apparatus. While an isolated quantum system evolves unitarily following the Schrödinger equation, measurement leads to collapse of the quantum state in a non-unitary stochastic manner. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of quantum measurements, decoherence, and various interpretations of the quantum measurement problem.
Quantum entanglement is intrinsically, a quantum mechanical phenomenon that lies at the heart of quantum communication and teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum computing. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of quantum entanglement, including entanglement measures, entanglement witnesses and characterization of multipartite entanglement.
Quantum metrology and sensing exploit quantum properties like entanglement to achieve measurements with a precision and sensitivity unattainable by classical technology. The workshop will cover the fundamentals of quantum metrology as well as quantum sensing using color centers in solids and other materials.
Quantum cryptography leverages quantum principles to secure information, with quantum key distribution enabling provably secure communication. The workshop covers certifying security in quantum communication and randomness expansion, focusing on quantum key distribution schemes and advances in device-independent security.
