Class Objectives
/Class Outline
This course is designed to provide classes of quantum information theory, backgrounded by theories of condensed matter physics, in particular from the viewpoint of quantum correlation. The purposes are to understand the foundamental concepts of quantum theory, to master calculation techniques such as path integral widely used in various fields, and to learn the applications to emerging information sciences.
