Topic: operator algebras

Work with the PHIQUS team on distributed quantum computation, quantum correlations and nonlocality, or cryptographic protocols. Mathematical approaches include noncommutative polynomial optimisation and operator algebras. Projects are tailored to the researcher’s expertise and connect with European quantum-information collaborations. The page describes opportunities lasting one to three years, while its formal contract field specifies two years; applicants should confirm the duration for their appointment.

Two-dimensional topological order has caught much attention in connection to topological phases of matter and topological quantum computation, in particular. It is known that tensor networks are useful tools to study mathematical structures appearing in these topics. We present recent understanding of them from a viewpoint of operator algebras. No knowledge on operator algebras are assumed.
