• Title: Modave Lectures on Quantum Information: An Introduction to Channels and Applications to Black Holes and AdS/CFT
• Authors: Aidan Chatwin-Davies
• Abstract summary: We will study channels and their properties, and then go on to formulate quantum error correction in terms of quantum channels. We will see how a handful of problems in high energy physics, such as the black hole information problem and bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT, can be cast in the information-theoretic language being set up.

• Abstract: These notes introduce a handful of core ideas from quantum information science that figure prominently in modern research on quantum gravity. The central concept that forms the base of these notes is that of a quantum channel; that is, the most general physically-reasonable map between quantum states and between operators on Hilbert space. After reviewing some fundamentals, we will study channels and their properties, and then go on to formulate quantum error correction in terms of quantum channels. Along the way, we will see how a handful of problems in high energy physics, such as the black hole information problem and bulk reconstruction in AdS/CFT, can be cast in the information-theoretic language being set up.

  We provide an introduction to Quantum Information Processing, focusing on a promising setup for its implementation. We introduce the basic tools to understand and design quantum algorithms, always referring to their actual realization on a molecular spin architecture. We present some examples of quantum algorithms proposed and implemented on a molecular spin qudit hardware.

  We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

  We investigate, extend, and greatly expand here "quantum candies" (invented by Jacobs) "quantum" candies describe some basic concepts in quantum information, including quantum bits, complementarity, the no-cloning principle, and entanglement. These demonstrations are done in an approachable manner, that can be explained to high-school students, without using the hard-to-grasp concept of superpositions and its mathematics.

  We report on experimental tests of topological defect formation via the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model. We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
