2016 - Zhejiang University International Graduate Students Summar School: Quantum Correlation and Group -Algebra Theory

Aim of Zhejiang University Summer School

Since the 21st century, Quantum information theory and relevant technique has obtained unexpected development. And based on Quantum Information theory which rooted in principles of Quantum Mechanics, things like quantum computation, quantum code, quantum simulation and quantum communication have become hot topics of researches. Quantum computers can have an exponential advancement in computation and solve some important problems which are quite hard for traditional computers. In consideration of the bright prospect of the new techniques, recently, more and more countries begin to invest much in relevant researches. In Western countries, not only the government, but also the enterprise like Google, Microsoft and IBM have set up research institutes with the help of universities, sparing no effort in making superconductive chips and other quantum information technique practical. To take the high ground of future information theory, developing information techniques based on quantum device, particularly in important fields of quantum computation, quantum simulation and quantum communication, will inevitably become the key of science researches.

To cultivate experts in mathematics, physics, information and computation, to enlarge the influence of Zhejiang University on the researches of  quantum information and quantum computation, and to strengthen communications between Zhejiang University and the universities abroad, we are to hold the 2016 - Zhejiang University International Graduate Students Summer School:

Quantum Correlation and Group C *-Algebra Theory

This program is primarily intended for graduate students in the famous university of the world. The applicants should be recommended by their supervisors and it would be better if they had published some papers.

For the excellent students, the Summer School will provide travel funding and local fee 1000-2000 dollars.

Moreover, to improve the education of graduate students of Zhejiang University, we will recruit 20 excellent students from the universities of 985 Project. For those who make good performance and succeed in passing the interview, we can award them the pre-admission of Zhejiang University 2017 graduate students. Summer school will pay them tickets to Hangzhou (only one-trip) and part of accommodation and board wages during their stay in Hangzhou.

The Mathematics School of Zhejiang University is now accepting applications.The application deadline is July 15, 2016. All apply forms send to Professor Wu Junde, his e-mail: wjd@zju.edu.cn

Content of Summer School

Problems about quantum correlation stem from Einstein and others  gedanken experiment. Quantum entanglement is the most important quantum correlation, and until now, just utilizing quantum entanglement, people invent quantum teleportation, which is one way of instantaneous information sending. Recently, researchers find that group C *-algebra and operator space theory can be another important tool to study quantum correlation and discrimination of quantum states. In particular, these  theory can be the cornerstone to study the compatibility theory of Tsirelson's quantum measurement. Thus, Summer School will invite two world-famous experts from France and Spain to give lectures about frontal problems of quantum correlation, quantum geometric discord and quantum state discrimination, and using group C *-algebra theory, operator space theory to study quantum information. Meanwhile, we will organize 5-10 students to give symposiums on these issues. And on the last day, we plan to visit Zhejiang University and introduce its history.

Introduction of the Experts

Professor Dominique Spehner, he comes from French National Center for Scientific Research, He is a famous expert in quantum correlation, quantum geometric discord and quantum state discrimination.

Professor Carlos Palazuelos, he comes from Spain Instituto de Ciencias Matematicas, He is a famous expert in applying operator space and group C *-algebra theory to study quantum correlation. Moreover, he has published several far-reaching papers in important Journals, such as Communications in Mathematical Physics, Advances in Mathematics, Physical Review Letters and J. Functional Analysis.

Schedule of Summer School(July 3-July 23)

July 3 is used for registration. July 4, 8:00-9:00 opening ceremony

July 4-20, Lectures 50-60 hours.

July 21-22, Symposias 10-12 hours.

July 23, visit Zhejiang University, introduce the school history and the closing ceremony.

浙江大學研究生國際暑期學校

量子關聯與群C *-代數理論

暑期學校目的

進入二十一世紀以來，量子理論與技術得到了空前發展，基于量子力學原理的量子信息技術,包括量子計算,量子密碼,量子模擬和量子通信,已成開發熱點。量子計算機可以指數倍的提高計算速度，解決目前計算機無法解決的一些重大課題,已吸引世界各國競相投入巨資開發研究。在歐美各國，不僅是政府大力投入，包括谷歌、微軟和IBM這樣的信息產業巨頭也已與高校聯合成立研究機構，極力發展實用化的超導芯片等量子信息處理技術。因此發展基于量子器件的量子信息技術，尤其是在量子計算、模擬、通信等關鍵領域取得突破，掌握未來信息技術的制高點，將是科研戰略的重中之重。

為了加大數學、物理、信息、計算機等方面人才的培養力度，努力擴大浙江大學

在量子信息與量子計算方面的影響，加強與國際著名高校的交流與合作，我們舉辦2016年浙江大學國際研究生暑期學校。

招生對象

我們的招生對象是國際著名大學的研究生，他們需要在量子理論與算子代數等方面有一定的研究基礎，在國際著名期刊發表過重要論文以及導師的推薦。被錄取的國外優秀研究生，我們將提供 1000–2000 美元的機票和在杭生活補助。

此外，為了選拔優秀本科生到浙江大學攻讀研究生，我們招20-25名985高校的大三優秀本科生參加暑期學校，對于成績優秀、經過面試考核通過的學員，可以預錄取為2017年浙江大學研究生。暑期學校將提供這些學生的來杭單程火車票，并提供在杭學習期間的部分住宿費和伙食費。

暑期學校內容

量子關聯問題起源于愛因斯坦等人的思想實驗, 量子糾纏是最重要的量子關聯。目前人們正是利用量子糾纏, 發明了量子隱形傳態技子，即瞬間傳送信息的方法。最近，人們發現群C *-代數理論與算子空間理論是研究量子關聯、量子態區分的重要工具。特別是，群C *-代數理論與算子空間理論是研究Tsirelson量子測量相容性理論的基石。為此，暑期學校將邀請來自法國、西班牙的國際著名專家以群C *-代數理論和算子空間理論為工具，就量子關聯、量子幾何失協、量子態的區分等前沿問題做專題系列講座，同時，安排5-10名學員做這方面的研討報告。最后，安排一天參觀校園，介紹校史。
