Quantum many body systems and quantum information
Dates: 13-17 March 2023
Contact: Angelo Lucia (anglucia@ucm.es)
Many of the applications of quantum information theory require the preparation and control of large and highly entangled quantum systems. It is therefore natural that the problem of understanding how to manipulate large collections of quantum particles for QIT applications has a large overlap with the area of mathematical physics which studies the behavior of many body quantum systems and in particular quantum spin systems. The aim of this week is to bring together experts and young researchers from both areas to share the most recent advances and collaborate towards new developments.
