Quantum Information Theory - Part 4

Explore quantum information theory in this lecture from École Normale Supérieure de Lyon professor Omar Fawzi, focusing on the quantum analogues to Shannon's classical information theory principles. Delve into the fundamental challenges of quantum information transmission through noisy channels, examining key concepts in state discrimination, quantum channels, and quantum entropy measures. Learn how these principles extend Shannon's 1948 mathematical foundations for information storage and transmission into the quantum realm. Part of the 2023 Park City Mathematics Institute's Graduate Summer School program on Quantum Computation, this lecture includes comprehensive notes and problem sets to develop practical understanding of the material through guided exercises.
