Vienna-Theory-Lunch-Club--Seminar
|
| Idee/Idea: | Wie auf vielen Elite Unis praktiziert, wollen wir ein Lunch-Seminar etablieren, das aktuelle Themen der Theoretischen Physik, die auf unseren Unis von DiplomandInnen, DoktorandInnen und Postdocs behandelt werden, aufgreifen. Das Niveau soll so sein, dass jeder Student und jede Studentin am Ende des Studiums dem Vortrag folgen kann! Die Vortragenden werden auch ermutigt, keinen "perfekten" Vortrag zu halten, sondern haupsächlich zu motivieren, warum sie dieses Thema gewählt haben, und dabei dürfen auch durchaus offene Fragen und Probleme behandelt werden. Damit es zu praktisch keinen "Zeitverlust" kommt, wird gratis ein Mittagessen (Pizza,...) zur Verfügung gestellt. |
We want to establish a Graduate Student Lunch Club as praticed at other institutions like MIT. The seminars are designed for graduate students and should be accesible to all students. Students before their Diploma are particularly encouraged to attend so that they may learn about research begin performed on both universities. Speakers are encouraged to focus also on their motivation why they chose this particular topic and raise open questions. In order to avoid any "loss of time" we provide a free lunch (pizza,...). |

Quantum measurements and estimations
In this seminar we will investigate inverse problems of quantum physics.
That is, the ones associated with an identification of quantum
properties out of observed measurement statistics. The goal is to
understand what is measured in quantum measurements and introduce the
concept of quantum observables as the most general description of
quantum measurements. We will formulate the problem of estimation of
the wave function (Pauli problem) and density operators. Analyzing a
simplified model of Stern-Gerlach experiments we will come to the
concept of positive operator valued measure (POVM) as the mathematical
representation of quantum observables. We will give a formal definition
and provide basic mathematical properties concerning POVMs (Gleason's
theorem, Naimark theorem, etc). We will introduce the concept of
informationally complete measurements enabling us to experimentally
observe and reconstruct quantum states. If some time remains (I doubt)
we will discuss under which circumstances some nontrivial information
can be acquired from individual experimental clicks. In particular, we
will analyze the existence of minimum-error conclusions and unambiguous
conclusions for the problem of single-shot discrimination among a pair
of pure quantum states.
