چکیده

Information to be stored and transported requires physical carriers. The quantum bit of information (qubit) can for instance be realised as the spin 1 2 degree of freedom of a massive particle like an electron or as the spin 1 polarisation of a massless photon. In this lecture, I first use irreducible representations of the rotation group to characterise the spin dynamics in a least redundant manner. Specifically, I describe the decoherence dynamics of an arbitrary spin S coupled to a randomly fluctuating magnetic field in the Liouville space formalism. Secondly, I discuss the diffusive dynamics of the particle’s position in space due to the presence of randomly placed impurities. Combining these two dynamics yields a coherent, unified picture of diffusive spin transport, as applicable to mesoscopic electronic devices or photons propagating in cold atomic clouds.

We briefly explain some simple arguments based on pseudo Hermiticity, supersymmetry and PT -symmetry which explain the reality of the spectrum of some non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Subsequently we employ PT -symmetry as a guiding principle to construct deformations of some integrable systems, the Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model and the Korteweg deVries equation. Some properties of these models ar...

We discuss and investigate the geometrical structure of general multipartite states. In particular, we show that a geometrical measure of entanglement for general multipartite states can be constructed by the complex projective varieties defined by quadratic polynomials.
