Part of the BBSRC’s mission Is to promote public awareness and discussion about issues surrounding how bioscience research is conducted in the applications of research outcomes. www.bbsrc.ac.uk The Institute of Advanced Studies The Institute of Advanced Studies at the University of Surrey hosts small-scale, scientific and scholarly meetings of leading academics from all over the world to discuss specialist topics away from the pressure of everyday work. The events are multidisciplinary, bringing together scholars from different disciplines to share alternative perspectives on common problems. www.ias.surrey.ac.uk MILES (Models and Mathematics in Life and Social Sciences), University of Surrey MILES is a programme of events and funding opportunities to stimulate Surrey’s interdisciplinary research. MILES initiates and fosters projects that bring together academics from mathematics, engineering, computing and physical sciences with those from the life sciences, social sciences, arts, humanities and beyond. www.miles.surrey.ac.uk Quantum Biology: Current Status and Opportunities Introduction Sixty years ago, Erwin Schrödinger, one of the founding fathers of quantum mechanics, puzzled over one of deepest mysteries: what makes genes so durable that they can be passed down through hundreds of generations virtually unchanged? To provide an answer, Schrödinger looked towards the science that he helped to build. In his book, “What is Life?” (first published in 1944), he suggested that life was unique in that some of its properties are generated, not by the familiar statistical laws of classical science, but by the strange and counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics.

  • Quantum Correlations in Space-Time: Foundations and Applications
    Quantum Correlations in Space-Time: Foundations and Applications Tian Zhang Somerville College University of Oxford A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Revised Version, 2020 Abstract The absolute/relative debate on the nature of space and time is ongoing for thousands of years. Here we attempt to investigate space and time from the information theoretic point of view to understand spatial and temporal correlations under the relative assumption. Correlations, as a measure of relationship between two quantities, do not distinguish space and time in classical probability theory; quantum correlations in space are well-studied but temporal correlations are not well understood. The thesis investigates quantum correlations in space-time, by treating temporal correlations equally in form as spatial correlations and unifying quantum correlations in space and time. In particular, we follow the pseudo- density matrix formalism in which quantum states in spacetime are properly defined by correlations from measurements. We first review classical correlations, quantum correlations in space and time, to motivate the pseudo-density matrix formalism in finite dimensions. Next we generalise the pseudo-density matrix formulation to continuous variables and general measurements. Specifically, we define Gaussian spacetime states by the first two statistical moments, and for general continuous variables spacetime states are defined via the Wigner function representation. We also define spacetime quantum states in position measurements and weak measurements for general measurement processes. Then we compare the pseudo-density matrix formalism with other spacetime formulations: indefinite causal structures, consistent his- tories, generalised non-local games, out-of-time-order correlation functions, and path integrals.

    Visitor Notes: Jacob Biamonte Categorical Models of Quantum Information in the Simulation of Many-Body Systems CQT attracts both long and short term visitors from all over the world. Jacob Biamonte, a Research Fellow at the Uni- versity of Oxford and Lecturer in Physics at St Peter's College, explains the results of his two collaborative visits with several members of CQT staff, including Stephen Clark. Their work involved using higher mathematics to create a new theory of tensor network states and has numerous practical applications in the simulation of physical systems. It was quite the honour to be asked to contribute to CQT's physical systems by a connected network of components annual report by outlining my experience as a visitor. I called tensors.

I keep hearing this question over and over again; it resonates in my head like a well rehearsed mantra. It invariably comes within the first ten minutes into any official, or even casual, lunch or dinner. It is asked by friends and colleagues, by people from academia, government agencies, industry and even by my div- ing buddies. And you know what - I do not mind being asked. I mean it. This is because I do not have to repeat the same story over and over again, so I am never bored. I believe the Centre is doing well simply because there is always something new, something exciting to talk about. It is only the second year of our existence and yet there are many highlights to choose from. So I can tell people how we took our quantum cryptographic kit to Las Vegas to expose it to the hardcore hackers at one of their annual gatherings.

  • Imperial College Lem On
    UNIVERSITY OF LONDON Imperial College Lem on Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Department of Computing Complexity Analysis and Semantics for Quantum Computation Elham Kashefi Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London and the Diploma of Membership of Imperial College. December 1, 2003 Abstract This thesis focuses on two different aspects of quantum computation: quantum complexity and quantum semantics. In the first part, I study the quantum com- plexity mainly within the quantum query model. Together with my colleagues, I introduce a new framework for quantum query complexity, phrased in terms of the minimal oracle and analyse limits and strengths of this new model in comparison to their classical and quantum counterparts. Working within the query model I study quantum one-way functions. I show that in the quantum setting, the problem of the existence of a quantum one-way permutation can be reduced to the problem of con- structing polynomial size networks for performing the specific task of the reflection about a sequence of states. Furthermore, I extend these results to the domain of the state and operator complexity. I show that if a quantum one-way function exists, then we can construct a sequence of so called "hard" states with the property that the reflection operators about those states are efficiently implementable. In the second part, I study the extension of domain theory to the quantum setting and develop the semantics of quantum computation. By defining a quantum domain I introduce a rigourous definition of quantum computability for quantum states and operators.
