THE QUANTIC WORLD: DAY 1
- Eleonora Diociaiuti (INFN e Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (IT))
Description
The program of the two "QUANTIC DAYS" has been defined in collaboration with Prof. Paulo Nussenzveig.
Since the first quantum revolution in the early twentieth century, a whole range of applications in the field of scientific research but also in our daily life has emerged; laser, electronics, satellite-based positioning, medical imagery, etc., Most of what has been discussed so far in this school is indeed "quantic".
The second quantum revolution is now underway, this is well recognized everywhere in the world and considered as a key objective in many fieds of Research and Industry and including for the daily life applications. These two Quantic Days review some of the ongoing developments. As for most of the lectures given at the school, there will be a series of hands-on Lab related to the lectures presented in those 2 days for deepening some topics here addressed.
Abstract: This lecture will review the fundamentals of quantum theory and concepts such as superposition , entanglement, as a basis of quantum technologies.
Lecturer: Barbara Lopes Amaral, Master and PhD in Mathematics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) carried on with a stay at the University Autonoma of Barcelona (2014). Postdoctoral position at the International Institute...
Abstract: Thermodynamics sets bounds for different technologies including quantum technologies. In the latter case, out-of-equilibrium dynamics, energy fluctuations and randomness are fundamentally present. On the other hand, modern techniques for manipulation of quantum systems allow experimental access to microscopic states, making explicit the role of information theory in different...
Abstract: Cold atoms represent an ideal platform for the implementation of second-generation quantum technologies. Particularly interesting opportunities emerge from a coherent coupling of the atoms to single-mode light fields enabled by resonant optical cavities. In this lecture, after a general introduction into the world of cold atoms, I will present two of our research lines. In the first...
