MQV Colloquium: Barbara Kraus


The MQV Colloquia feature interdisciplinary talks given by local as well as invited international experts. The colloquia, which are accessible to a worldwide audience via videoconference, cover all aspects of quantum technologies, with a focus on MQV research activities. The goal of the series is to establish and strengthen connections with quantum-technology experts worldwide and to provide a platform for education and scientific exchange for and with the local quantum ecosystem.


"Verification of quantum computing and simulation & indistinguishability of photons"

Barbara Kraus – TUM

Abstract

Current quantum devises are faulty and one needs to be able to assess the errors which occur during quantum information processing. In the first part of this talk, I will discuss several methods which can be used to test quantum computations and quantum simulations. Then, I will use a quantum information theoretical approach to address the problem of indistinguishability of identical particles.
