Quantum entanglement 2018 spring

Introductory lectures on quantum entanglement, to physicist BSc., MSc., and PhD. students.
It is about illustrating quantum entanglement in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces, where the abstract notions can be made explicit by using geometric approach.
Recommended prerequisites: quantum mechanics and linear algebra.

The physical systems in nature show different behavior in small and large scales, called "quantum" and "classical", respectively. The characteristic trait of the quantum behavior is a remarkable type of correlation, called entanglement. There is no entanglement in classical systems, which are described by classical probability theory, while in quantum systems, entanglement is a simple consequence of the Hilbert space formalism. Beyond the practical applications, the investigation of quantum entanglement (and quantum correlations in general) represents a highly important point of view for the understanding of the differences between classical and quantum physics. It might be interesting to get to know a generalized probability theory also for mathematician students.


Topics planned to be covered:


Course Informations


Actual informations, announcements


Recommended texts

The material of the course is coming from several sources, including also research articles, there is no single textbook containing all that, so taking notes is recommended. Below there are some important, comprehensive works, giving wide overviews, far beyond the scope of the course. First, some general textbooks for the preliminaries:

Then, to the actual material of the course:


Homeworks

There is a possibility of getting mark by submitting homeworks regularly. Let the rules be as follows.

Worksheets (still in Hungarian, mostly):

A házifeladatok alapján megajánlott jelest kap eddig: M.Á.(ELTE) és N3Y91O.


Vizsgák

Letölthető aktualizált vizsgatematika: .pdf. Néhány helyen tartalmaz javasolt irodalmat, mely olvasása segíti a felkészülést, de sok helyen az elhangzott anyag az évek tapasztalataiból párlódott le.

A következő vizsgaalkalmakat írtam ki:

Az időpontok csak informálisak, termet nem foglaltam.
BMEsek: Aki szeretne vizsgázni, keressen meg e-mailben, és egyeztetünk időpontot/termet! Az is vegye fel valamelyiket, aki házi feladat alapján kap jegyet, hogy be lehessen írni.
ELTÉsek: Aki szeretne jegyet, nézzen utána az áthallgatás eljárásának, talán a fenti tételsor és egy vizsgaigazolás elegendő.


Az egész oldalt a házikkal együtt le kellene fordítanom, elnézést, amíg nem végzek!
