Quantum Information and Emergent Phenomena @ UFSM

In QUANTUM INFORMATION we want to understand how the quantum features of physical systems can be harnessed in order to store, process and communicate information efficiently.

    In EMERGENT PHENOMENA we want to explain the behavior of a complex system starting with the simple and fundamental laws that dictate the behavior of its constituents added with insights about the system.

    Our group is interested in topics from both realms and also in their intersection. Some themes we want to understand nowadays are:

• Interface between quantum mechanics and general relativity

• Interface between quantum computation and artificial inteligence

• Deep learning, neural networks.

• Quantum Physics (Fundamentals and Applications);

• Quantum Information Science (Fundamentals and Applications);

• Quantum resources: nonlocality, steering, entanglement, discord, coherence, superposition, squeezing;

• Dynamics of quantum resources and the Decoherence Process;

• Correlations in Classical and Quantum Phase Transitions;

• Phase Transitions, Criticality and quantum communication with Fractal Spin Lattices;

• Monte Carlo Simulations.

• Ameliorated Mean Field Theories; 

• Description of Disordered and Frustrated Systems.
