2. 1. Configurations in Quantum Information

   Author : Kate Blanchfield; Ingemar Bengtsson; Erik Sjöqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : Measurements play a central role in quantum information. This thesis looksat two types: contextual measurements and symmetric measurements. Contextualityoriginates from the Kochen-Specker theorem about hidden variablemodels and has recently undergone a subtle shift in its manifestation. READ MORE

4. 2. Geometry and foundations of quantum mechanics

   Author : Kate Blanchfield; Ingemar Bengtsson; Anthony Sudberry; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

   Abstract : This thesis explores three notions in the foundations of quantum mechanics: mutually unbiased bases (MUBs), symmetric informationally-complete positive operator valued measures (SICs) and contextuality. MUBs and SICs are sets of vectors corresponding to special measurements in quantum mechanics, but there is no proof of their existence in all dimensions. READ MORE
