Quantum Information and Quantum Many-Body Theory 1100-4EU-QIQMBT

The course will consist of three phases.

Phase 1: Online Lectures.
There will be 7/8 online lectures that will take place on Thursdays late in the afternoon. A tentative list of topics includes:

- Entanglement/non-locality. Subjects: States, measurement, tensor product, maximally entangled state, reduced states, density matrices, Bell-inequalities, Bell’s Theorem, Non-local games/protocols, entanglement measures...

- Quantum spin-system. Subjects: Spin Hamiltonians, ground states, ground state energy, free energy, thermodynamic limit, spectral gap, Heisenberg model, Lieb-Schultz-Mattis Theorem, AKLT, ...

Phase 2: group projects.
Students will be asked to work in groups on a suggested topic. Their work will be presnted in the form of a poster presentation during the summer school (see below).

Phase 3: summer school in Copenhagen.
The course will end with a in-person summer school in Copenhagen in June 2024 (tentative dates: June 24-28th). During the summe school students will participate in courses provided by world leading experts on topics that have been introduced during Phase 1. The participation in the summer school of up to 9 students will supported financially by the university.
