Description du projet
Examiner le comportement collectif des particules quantiques pour le traitement avancé de l’information
Le projet GQCOP, financé par le CER, mènera des recherches sur l’information quantique, qui implique le traitement de l’information à l’aide de parties ou de systèmes quantiques interconnectés, tels que les qubits dans les ordinateurs quantiques. Ses objectifs consistent à développer une nouvelle base pour la quantification décrivant les phénomènes collectifs de ce groupe de particules ou de systèmes, et à créer de nouvelles plateformes pour l’utilisation pratique de la quantification dans les applications quantiques. Les recherches porteront sur les aspects suivants: construction d’une théorie de la quantification dans les systèmes composites; évaluation comparative de la quantification dans les protocoles d’information et de communication; élaboration de solutions pour une métrologie quantique dans le bruit; mise en place d’une ingénierie thermique quantique pour les réfrigérateurs et les moteurs thermiques; et établissement d’un cadre cybernétique pour l’étude des phénomènes de régulation de ces particules ou systèmes complexes.
Objectif
The proposed research programme addresses issues of fundamental and technological importance in quantum information science and its interplay with complexity. The main aim of this project is to provide a new paradigmatic foundation for the characterisation of quantumness in cooperative phenomena and to develop novel platforms for its practical utilisation in quantum technology applications.
To reach its main goal, this programme will target five specific objectives:
O1. Constructing a quantitative theory of quantumness in composite systems;
O2. Benchmarking genuine quantumness in information and communication protocols;
O3. Devising practical solutions for quantum-enhanced metrology in noisy conditions;
O4. Developing quantum thermal engineering for refrigerators and heat engines;
O5. Establishing a cybernetics framework for regulative phenomena in the quantum domain.
This project is deeply driven by the scientific curiosity to explore the ultimate range of applicability of quantum mechanics. Along the route to satisfying such curiosity, this project will fulfill a crucial two-fold mission. On the fundamental side, it will lead to a radically new level of understanding of quantumness, in its various manifestations, and the functional role it plays for natural and artificial complex systems traditionally confined to a classical domain of investigation. On the practical side, it will deliver novel concrete recipes for communication, sensing and cooling technologies in realistic conditions, rigorously assessing in which ways and to which extent these can be enhanced by engineering and harnessing quantumness.
Along with a skillful team which this grant will allow to assemble, benefitting from the vivid research environment at Nottingham, and mainly thanks to his creativity, broad mathematical and physical preparation and relevant inter-disciplinary expertise, the applicant is in a unique position to accomplish this timely and ambitious mission.
