Theory

We are a physics theory research group sponsored by the Emmy Noether program of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft

The Theory Division started its activities in December 2001. Since then, we carry out theoretical research in Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Optics and Information, and Quantum Many-Body systems.

Key words: entanglement and gravity, notion of quantum information, quantum information conservation, nonlocal causality, macro-entanglement, quantum information and logic, quantum information and meta-mathematics, quantum computer and transfinite calculus

Perimeter Institute is a theoretical physics institute.

Quantum Information Theory group of Renato Renner at ETH Zurich.

Our group is concerned with theoretical questions arising in the area of Quantum Information Science. This includes entanglement quantification, innovative quantum applications as well as novel ways of implementing quantum-information processing.

The quantum information theory section is also affiliated with the theoretical quantum optics section in the quantum optics and laser science group(QOLS).

The QI-Laboratory runs research in the foundations of quantum information science (the theories of quantum measurement and entanglement, design and analysis of quantum cryptographic protocols, atoms dynamics in optical dipole trap, etc.), applications of quantum theory to modeling quantum interference phenomena in multilevel atoms interacting with optical and magnetic fields (dark resonance spectroscopy), and exploring applications of laser coherent control of molecular chiral states.

The Mathematical Foundations group in the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, studies the interaction between computation and mathematical foundations. The group has a high level of expertise in logic, category theory, topology and toposes and much of its work investigates those mathematical areas in their own right and applies them to disciplines other than computer science. A new direction is in applications of topos theory to quantum foundations.
