“QUANTUM SPIN SYSTEMS FROM A QUANTUM INFORMATION VIEWPOINT”

Description: The goal of the course is to introduce quantum spin systems and some of its connections with quantum information theory, mainly via the theory of tensor networks. Content: - Quantum spin systems: introduction, definitions, problems of interest, examples. - Entanglement theory, entropies and measures of entanglement. Area law. - Tensor networks: motivation, introduction, definitions, examples. Connections with quantum computing and complexity theory. - Tensor networks as ground states and thermal states. - Quantum phases of matter. Topological order. - Thermal noise in quantum systems. Gibbs sampling.
