Quantum Symmetries : Metabief, France 2014, Paperback / softback Book

Quantum Symmetries : Metabief, France 2014 Paperback / softback

Edited by Uwe Franz

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics series

Paperback / softback

Description

Providing an introduction to current research topics in functional analysis and its applications to quantum physics, this book presents three lectures surveying recent progress and open problems.  A special focus is given to the role of symmetry in non-commutative probability, in the theory of quantum groups, and in quantum physics.

The first lecture presents the close connection between distributional symmetries and independence properties.

The second introduces many structures (graphs, C*-algebras, discrete groups) whose quantum symmetries are much richer than their classical symmetry groups, and describes the associated quantum symmetry groups.

The last lecture shows how functional analytic and geometric ideas can be used to detect and to quantify entanglement in high dimensions. The book will allow graduate students and young researchers to gain a better understanding of free probability, the theory of compact quantum groups, and applications of the theory ofBanach spaces to quantum information.

The latter applications will also be of interest to theoretical and mathematical physicists working in quantum theory.
