Physics, Mathematics, and All That Quantum Jazz

by Shu Tanaka (Editor), Masamitsu Bando (Editor)

This book is a collection of contributions from a Summer Workshop on Physics, Mathematics, and All That Quantum Jazz . Subjects of the symposium include quantum information theory, quantum annealing, Bose gases, and thermodynamics from a viewpoint of quantum physics. Contributions to this book are prepared in a self-contained manner so that readers with a modest background may understand the subjects.Contents: My Life as a Quantum Physicist "(M Nakahara)"A Review on Operator Quantum Error Correction Dedicated to Professor Mikio Nakahara on the Occasion of His 60th Birthday "(C-K Li, Y-T Poon and N-S Sze)"Implementing Measurement Operators in Linear Optical and Solid-State Qubits "(Y Ota, S Ashhab and F Nori)"Fast and Accurate Simulation of Quantum Computing by Multi-Precision MPS: Recent Development "(A Saitoh)"Entanglement Properties of a Quantum Lattice-Gas Model on Square and Triangular Ladders "(S Tanaka, R Tamura and H Katsura)"On Signal Amplification from Weak-Value Amplification "(Y Shikano)"Topological Protection of Quantum Information "(K Fujii)"Quantum Annealing with Antiferromagnetic Fluctuations for Mean-Field Models "(Y Seki and H Nishimori)"A Method to Change Phase Transition Nature Toward Annealing Methods "(R Tamura and S Tanaka)"Computational Analysis of the First Stage of the Photosynthetic System, the Light-Dependent Reaction, by Quantum Chemical Simulation Method "(M Tada-Umezaki)"Two-Qubit Gate Operation on Selected Nearest Neighboring Qubits in a Neutral Atom Quantum Computer "(E Hosseini Lapasar, K Kasamatsu, S Nic Chormaic, T Takui, Y Kondo, M Nakahara and T Ohmi)"A Simple Operator Quantum Error Correction Scheme Avoiding Fully Correlated Errors "(C Bagnasco, Y Kondo and M Nakahara)"Black Hole Predictability, Classical and Quantum "(A Ishibashi)"Classical Field Simulation of Finite-Temperature Bose Gases "(T Sato)"Atomic Quantum Simulations of Lattice Gauge Theory: Effect of Gauge Symmetry Breaking "(K Kasamatsu, I Ichinose and T Matsui)"Recursive Construction of Noiseless Subsystem for Qudits "(U Gungordu, C-K Li, M Nakahara, Y-T Poon and N-S Sze)"Composite Quantum Gates for Precise Quantum Control "(M Bando, T Ichikawa, Y Kondo and M Nakahara)"New Formulation of Statistical Mechanics Using Thermal Pure Quantum States "(S Sugiura and A Shimizu)"Thermodynamics in Unitary Time Evolution "(T N Ikeda)"Second Law of Thermodynamics with QC-Mutual Information "(T Sagawa)"
