Quantum Shannon Theory - Rothschild Lecture

Explore quantum Shannon theory in this Rothschild Lecture delivered by Professor Alexander Holevo of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Delve into the mathematical foundations of quantum information science, examining concepts such as quantum channels, capacities, and coding theorems. Learn how operator analysis, convexity, matrix inequalities, and asymptotic techniques are applied to study communication channels and their information-processing capabilities in quantum systems. Discover the role of quantum correlations and entanglement in composite quantum systems, and understand how the notion of channel capacity in quantum theory differs from classical Shannon theory. Gain insights into open mathematical problems, including additivity and Gaussian optimizers, particularly in the context of Bosonic Gaussian channels.
