Quantum Information
Part of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics
Theoretical research in quantum information is carried out by Dutt, Gerjuoy, Levy, and Tabakin. Gerjuoy works on issues related to entanglement between two-level and d-level quantum systems, and has also written a definitive review of Shor’s algorithm. Tabakin has developed a comprehensive software package that allows researchers to simulate quantum algorithms within the density operator formalism. Levy has worked on methods for encoding quantum information in spin systems. Liu is interested in quantum phase transitions in cold atomic gases and in condensed matter systems.
