Project
Description | Mathematical
aspects of quantum correlations for open systems and mixed states are a
fundamental problem in quantum systems that are utilized in
quantum
information processing. Much of current work involves algebraic and
entropic study of quantum entanglement. This project addresses dynamic
aspects quantum correlations from a geometric perspective, starting from
the notion of information geometry and correlations between
probability
distributions. We wish especially to study how these correlations
evolve during quantum dynamics, and in the measurement process. We also
wish to establish a connection with the
lassical limit, which becomes relevant in the
quantum-classical transition natural to the
measurement process. This study will further aid the process of recognizing
decoherence mechanisms and their control, in particular applications to information encoding and decoding.
