Non-classical correlations: from quantum non-locality to quantum discord

Prof. Marco Piani (University of Waterloo, Canad)
O grupo de ptica e informao quntica da UFF, Niteri-RJ, vem divulgar o mini-curso "Non-classical correlations: from quantum non-locality to quantum discord" , que ocorrer durante a visita do Prof. Marco Piani (University of Waterloo, Canad). Pblico-Alvo: alunos de ps-graduao ou em final de graduao em fsica, bem como pesquisadores da comunidade de fsica em geral. Carga horria: 10 horas (5 aulas) Perodo/Horrio: 26/08/2013 at 30/08/2013 (segunda-feira a sexta-feira, de 14:00 as 16:00). Local: Instituto de Fsica da UFF, Sala 201, Campus da Praia Vermelha, Niteri, RJ. Contato: Solicitamos que aqueles interessados em participar, confirmem seu interesse enviando e-mail para o Prof. Marcelo Sarandy (msarandy@if.uff.br) ou o Prof. Thiago Oliveira (tro@if.uff.br) com seu nome e Instituio. Resumo: In this short course we will cover some basic concepts and tools in the study of the many aspects of the non-classicality of correlations. We will discuss quantum non-locality, quantum entanglement, and quantum discord, focusing on the conceptual and operational characterization of such properties. We will investigate how these properties are related, and how tools from quantum information theory---and in particular entanglement theory --- lead to a better understanding of the general non-classicality of correlations. Topics will include: - non-locality, non-local games, and device-independent verification of entanglement; - entanglement and channel discrimination; - discord and entanglement generation in local measurements; - no-local broadcasting theorem, discord and the quantum-to-classical transition. OBSERVAES: O mini-curso ser ministrado em ingls. Participantes externos a UFF so muito bem-vindos e encorajados e participar.
