Theory

Laboratory of Quantum Information Theory was created in Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 2014 to reinforce theoretical research in quantum technologies.

Our group conducts research in the following fields:

- quantum measurements

- entanglement and other types of quantum correlations

- open systems dynamics and quantum channels

- quantum information transfer, storage, and processing

- physics of quantum systems: spin, charged, optical, and hybrid

- foundations of quantum mechanics

QTI is a quantum computing research group based at the newly established Singapore University of Technology and Design. Research within the group is varied but common themes include the development of cryptographic methods for verifying quantum processors and the development of new quantum cryptographic techniques. The group is lead by Joe Fitzsimons, and at present includes 6 postdoctoral fellows, 4 PhD students and a number of undergraduate research students.

The Quantum Information Group (GIQ) research interests range from theoretical aspects of quantum information (quantum state estimation/discrimination, characterization of entanglement, Bell inequalities and foundations of quantum mechanics) to implementations of quantum information protocols (e.g., continuous variables, angular momentum of photons, cold gases) and quantum information in condensed matter systems.

In the theoretical nanooptics group we explore the possibility to control the properties of light by means of micro- and nanostructured materials. We apply this opportunity to enable applications previously inaccessible or to significantly enhance already existing applications. In our work we rely on a large variety of different numerical and theoretical tools and on the close interaction to a large variety of experimental and theoretical groups that work in the same scientific area.

The group is interested in a variety of topics related to quantum algorithms and quantum computing (design of new quantum algorithms, lower bounds for quantum algorithms, algorithmic aspects of quantum communication and quantum cryptography, quantum non-locality and quantum Hamiltonian complexity), as well as non-quantum topics in theoretical computer science.
